WBA Boxing has issued a deadline of April 1 to sign off on the unification battle between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
There has been a long-standing war of words between the two camps, and while a date of April 29 has been discussed for a mammoth meeting at Wembley Stadium, nothing has been confirmed despite being less than six weeks away from the date.
Yesterday, Sportsmail reported that the Ukrainian's manager and long-time advisor Egis Klimas had thrown that date into doubt, because of issues agreeing terms with the Gypsy King.
Klimas said that if a deal with Fury could not be struck, then Usyk would pivot to a mandatory defence route
