TYSON FURY'S long-overdue showdown with Oleksandr Usyk is at risk of being "PUSHED BACK" again, it's been claimed.<\/p>\n
Fury and Usyk, 35 and 36 respectively, were initially set to throw down for all the heavyweight marbles in April but failed to finalise a suitable agreement for both parties.<\/p>\n

The duo were then on course to duke it out a multi-million-pound Saudi showdown on December 23 before Team Fury pulled the plug after his horror<\/span> show against former UFC champ Francis Ngannou last month.<\/p>\n February 17 is the new date for their long-awaited Riyadh Rumble, which Carl Froch reckons may get delayed until March if Fury enjoys himself too much over the upcoming festive period.<\/p>\n The former unified super-middleweight champion said on his YouTube<\/span> channel: "He's got a bit of timber on him, a bit of derby that he needs to reign in before the fight.<\/p>\n "I think it's gonna be a tough one for Tyson to have a good Christmas and New Year, relax, and let his bald head down over Christmas and New Year.<\/p>\n "He's got a wonderful family, we've seen on Netflix. He's got a big family, his wife and seven children.<\/p>\n "So he's gonna want to relax and have a good time.<\/p>\n "Is he going to want to be training over Christmas and New Year, which he's going to have to do, if he's going to be ready for the February event?<\/p>\n "I'm not so sure, I've got a feeling that fight might get pushed back until March.

Fury may have been ill-prepared but he was still behind his jab, still throwing plenty of feints.<\/p>\nMost read in Boxing<\/h2>\n
