Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to collide on February 17th.
The pair are set to battle it out for all of the heavyweight titles and crown an undisputed champion of the division.
But one former world champion isn’t so sure that the fight will go ahead.

Shawn Porter speaking to ProBox TV explained why he thinks Fury may call off the fight.
He said: “Even with the fight being signed sealed and delivered I don’t feel like this is the kind of energy that he wants to exert any more in the boxing ring.”
“You look at a guy like Tyson Fury, a guy who has been around this track so many times. I think that a fighter will get to a point where they see the hardest night ahead of them and they’re like, ‘Man, I just had so many of those hard nights, I am not going to have that hard night’.
“What we know about Tyson Fury is that he is a showman, what we know about Tyson Fury is that he likes things to be his way or no way.
Which is why he went after Francis Ngannou, because those are the kind of fights that he is looking for. He is looking for things that are going to give him the money and the recognition and the nights that he is not going to have to train hard for anymore.”

If Tyson fury pulls out of his boxing match for me he should loose his belts and made to pay .
He should have already been stripped of the belt but if he pulls out or this one then definitely needs to be vacated
Why should he be stripped of titles. He earned them in the boxing ring.
Shame his Grandfather never pulled out
He’s not the world champion anyway he losted the fight what referee counts up to 16 when he’s knocked out cold it’s usually 10 in it
