The Gypsy King&#8217;s promoter Frank Warren has revealed that the contest is more likely to take place next year following a hard-fought scrap with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.<\/p>\n<p>Warren insists that the bout will take place during the Riyadh season which is set to run up until March but says that 2023 is now &#8220;unrealistic&#8221;. The tentative date had been set with the assumption that Fury would walk through Ngannou without any problems.<\/p>\n<p>However, what had seemed like a foregone conclusion at first turned into one of the toughest fights of the Mancunian&#8217;s career. Ngannou floored Fury in round three of a fight that many felt he had done enough to win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Among them were Eddie Hearn who believes Fury vs Usyk is a &#8220;mismatch&#8221; judging off the former&#8217;s dismal display in Saudi Arabia. Instead, Hearn wants to see his client Anthony Joshua go in there against Fury and &#8220;end his career&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/102\/590x\/secondary\/Tyson-Fury-Oleksandr-Usyk-5038363.jpg?r=1698583508923\"><\/p>\n<p>He told Boxing Social: \u201cI\u2019m baffled really. I can\u2019t believe it. Firstly I feel Ngannou was robbed. He scored the knockdown and nobody actually did anything in the fight, the fight was a stinker, but Ngannou won the fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You\u2019re talking about a guy who has never boxed before and respect to him because he was better than I thought but Fury looked like he had never put on a pair of boxing gloves before. I don\u2019t know whether he\u2019s shot, he didn\u2019t train, he\u2019s thinking about the Usyk fight, he was absolutely awful.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tyson Fury gets lucky escape vs Francis Ngannou as he wins split decision[REPORT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Fuming British boxer pushes ref away on undercard of Fury vs Ngannou[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Fury vs Ngannou coverage suffers nightmare as TNT forced to apologise[COVERAGE] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/102\/590x\/secondary\/Eddie-Hearn-Tyson-Fury-Anthony-Joshua-5038364.jpg?r=1698583508975\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet AJ go in there and end his career please or Ngannou has earned the right for a big fight, let AJ go in and knock Ngannou out inside three rounds not a problem.
