Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury have reached an agreement to fight on April 29 at London’s Wembley.
This was announced on the evening of March 10 in an ESPN commentary by WBA President Gilberto Mendoza.

If Usyk and Fury had not agreed on a fight by the end of the day, the WBA would have forced the Ukrainian to defend the title against mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.
Oleksandr Usyk agreed to Fury’s financial terms. The Ukrainian recorded a video in which he agrees to share the fee of the duel on April 29 70/30 if the Briton allocates 1 million pounds sterling from the received funds to Ukraine.
Hey, greedy belly. I accept your 70/30 offer to fight on April 29th at Wembley. But you will promise to donate £1 million to Ukraine immediately after the fight. And for every day of your delay, you will pay 1% of your wallet to Ukrainians. Agreed? Usyk said.
