TYSON FURY will get a crack at the undisputed heavyweight title after promoter Frank Warren dismissed fears the IBF title could be stripped from Oleksandr Usyk.
The pair’s clash in Saudi Arabia is set to be put back until February after Fury had to pick himself up off the canvas to beat boxing novice Francis Ngannou, which killed the December 23 date.
That sparked concerns the IBF would call Usyk to face mandatory Filip Hrgovic but Warren insists that won’t be an issue.
He said: “Four belts. The IBF have given consent for that to happen. Believe me, I had the late meetings. It’s all done. Already in place.
“He got a cut eye in the fight, so it could never go on.
