Oleksandr Usyk has insisted he will only fight Tyson Fury next and has called on the 'unpredictable' world heavyweight champion to agree to a meeting during the first part of 2023.
The Ukrainian was last in the ring in August when he retained his WBA, IBF and WBO belts after a split-decision victory over Anthony Joshua in Jeddah.
Talks over an undisputed heavyweight contest with WBC-belt holder Fury took place immediately after Usyk's success in Saudi Arabia, but the Briton will instead take on Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next month.
