ICHEOKU says it appears that some spanners have been thrown into the wheels of the previously scheduled August 14th, 2021 Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury showdown in Saudi Arabia. An arbitration ordered Tyson Fury to give Deontay Wilder a rematch while WBO ordered Anthony Joshua to defend his title against Oleksandr Usyk, both orders to be met before the unification of championship fight can eventually take place.
So barring any other last minute developments, which appear most unlikely, the Saudi Arabia showdown is now indefinitely postponed. However, whatever ends up happening, the world still awaits the Joshua/Fury encounter with excited giddiness as it will compare to the "Thriller in Manilla" and "Rumble in the Jungle" of the glorious Mohammed Ali days, thanks to Don King, the afro-haired boxing promoter who coined up those lingos. It will surely be a good fight and ICHEOKU prays both men suffer no injury before then and will be on tip-top condition to give the world of boxing fans what they really bargained for.
