Tyson Fury was due to fight Oleksandr Usyk Fury and Usyk on Saturday 18th May in a battle for undisputed status, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The winner of the Fury vs Usyk bout would become the first undisputed heavyweight boxer since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Hollyfield by unanimous decision in 1999.
However, it is now in doubt after Alexander Krassyuk, who looks after Usyk's boxing career, suggested he doesn't expect Fury to turn up.

Tyson Fury Replacement vs Oleksandr Usyk
Croatian boxer Filip Hrgovic has reportedly been drafted in to face the undefeated Usyk should Fury withdraw from the fight.
Hrgovic is scheduled to meet Daniel Dubois on Saturday 1st June.
Should the reports prove false and it still goes ahead, Fury will need to show he is better than his lacklustre performance against novice Francis Ngannou recently when he won by a controversial decision against the UFC fighter turned boxer.
The Ukrainian Usyk, who took three world title belts off Joshua, arguably has the form going into this fight but faces an opponent significantly larger than him.
Below you can find the latest betting odds for Fury vs Usyk.
