But behind the scenes, talks are already underway for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification.
Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk told Sky Sports: “We all hope [Fury] is brave enough to take this challenge.
“To accept the challenge of fighting a small “middleweight” rabbit from Ukraine who’s going to take his green belt away.”
Fury faces Chisora after failing to get Usyk or British rival Anthony Joshua in the ring.
WBA, IBF and WBO boss Usyk, 35, ruled himself out of the unification until 2023 after beating Joshua, 33, for a second time.
The Ukrainian will be in London on a scouting mission as Fury, 34, defends his WBC title against Chisora, 38.
Promoter Bob Arum said: “He’ll be ringside to watch with his manager and promoter.
“We all know each other. There’ll be no nonsense and posturing. We’ll be able to put it together right away.

“[Usyk] told us that he isn’t ready to fight until ’23. If Fury is successful we would look to make that fight some time in February, beginning of March.
“But again he’s got to beat Chisora for that to happen.”
Fury is just a win away from the historic unification next year, set for Saudi Arabia.
But Hall of Famer Arum has warned not to rule Chisora out as he expects a knockout either way.
He said: “Chisora’s not an easy out. Tough, tough guy.
“These are two no nonsense guys, they’re going to go in and they’re going to try to knock each other’s block off.
“We’re going to see a knockout. We may see a lot of knockdowns. It’s going to be an exciting fight.”
