OLEKSANDR USYK’s manager will jet into London TODAY to hash out a deal for an undisputed heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury.
Negotiations over the historic showdown have stagnated since they resumed last December, laying waste to the initially targeted March 4 date.
Tyson Fury is on course for an undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk
But negotiations have hit a standstill
Fury’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk is jetting into London today for showdown talks
Krassyuk will meet with Queensberry Promotion’s George Warren to try finalise the deal
WBC heavyweight king Fury has grown tired of the delay, flirting with the prospect of a freakshow hybrid fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
But SunSport understands Usyk’s manager and promoter, Alexander Krassuyk, will fly into London today to finalise the fight.
The Ukranian will meet with Queensberry Promotion’s George Warren tomorrow in a bid to try and save the mouthwatering showdown.
It’s understood a sticking point over the deal is the purse split, which Krassuyk wants to be 50-50.
A venue for the fight will likely be discussed, too.
Saudi Arabia was initially the frontrunner to land the first undisputed heavyweight dust-up in nearly a quarter of a century.
But Wembley Stadium is now a serious contender to host the historic fight.
April 29 is the new working date for the bout, which Fury co-promoter Frank Warren is optimistic will come to fruition.

He told talkSPORT: “The fight will 100 per cent take place on the last Saturday in April.
“Where it takes will be determined within the next six or seven days.
“If we can’t do what we’re being asked to for Tyson and Usyk, then the fight will take place in the UK and we’ll have time to promote it and so forth.
“If it goes to the Middle East, it’s because they will pay a premium for the World Cup of boxing.”
Fury and Usyk have traded several verbal jabs since their face-off last December, with the undefeated Ukrainian recently accusing The Gypsy King of pricing himself out of the fight.
He said: “Fury, you talk about greatness in boxing but, at the same time, you say, ‘Give me a lot of money’.
“Greatness in boxing is not determined by money. Greatness comes from a victorious path.
“You say that I avoid you, but I never have. In fact, I have even come to you.
“I am ready to box you even without any prize money.”
