According to ESPN, the discussions are intensifying for this highly anticipated matchup scheduled for Saudi Arabia in 2024.
While an agreement seemed near previously, the lack of a financial deal for a rematch without a first fight halted negotiations.

However, there’s now optimism that the WBC champion, Fury will indeed face the Ukrainian, who holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF titles.
Supposedly, boxing enthusiasts and stakeholders believe this fight is close to becoming a reality, though Fury must first face Francis Ngannou, a prospect that doesn’t seem to concern many.
