Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Rematch
The suspensions are basically meaningless and has no impact the potential rematch.
It will only be significant if any of the two camps request longer recovery periods.
Their first fight has a rematch clause and Fury was quick to demand another rounds of boxing with Usyk.
Promoter Frank Warren ensures there will be a rematch.
It has been weeks since the conclusion of the bout but Fury continues to be insistent on a rematch according to Top Rank CEO Bob Arum.
However, instead of the planned October rematch as stated in the clause, it will be moved for another month or two.
"I know Tyson is anxious for the rematch," Arum said.
"I think probably it will be in November or December because you can't do it in October. The guys have been training for a whole year and now for them to go back into training makes no sense."
Fury, 35, came to the match with a pure record of 33 wins with zero loss.
It will definitely be hard to imagine that he will end his career in this manner.
