Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are due to fight next month.
The undisputed clash has already been rescheduled twice with ‘The Gypsy King’s’ poor showing against Francis Ngannou forcing the bout to be moved from December to February before he was cut in sparring and the fight moved to the current date of May 18th.
Many fans are just not convinced that this fight will take place at all and former super-middleweight world champion George Groves shares a similar opinion believing Fury doesn’t ‘fancy’ the Usyk fight

Groves told Betway: “I’ve said since the start – I’ll believe it [the fight] when I see it.
“I don’t think Fury has ever fancied the Usyk fight. He’s talking about having 10 more fights, but if he loses to Usyk how does that work?
“It’s a massive risk for him to fight Usyk. He’s probably really hoping that Usyk can’t take a body shot.
“[After the cut] I thought to myself, ‘I bet Fury would rather have a bit of Anthony Joshua than Usyk, because he’ll see that as an easier fight.
“That [versus Joshua] is the fight everyone really wants to see. I don’t believe if he pulls out [of the Usyk fight] he’s going to have to pay a $10 million fine.
“Usyk is probably thinking, ‘I don’t know if this guy is going to show up’, because there’s still a chance Fury pulls out.”
