There is a rematch clause for both fighers to activate.

Frank Warren has given an update on the proposed rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

Usyk won the first fight two weekends ago with a dramatic split-decision victory that saw the Briton start the strongest, only for him to be rocked in the ninth.

The judges ultimately gave it to the Ukrainian, and both fighters appeared keen to run it back, with a rematch clause available to both fighters.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Fury’s co-promoter Warren saw a way forward for a second fight to be agreed.

He said: "I spoke to him [Fury] after the fight and obviously when he got back just to make sure he's okay.

"He was very disappointed but very philosophical.

"The rematch was signed before the first fight took place anyway and that date will be set within the next month or so, both fighters said they want it and we'll go from there.

"It was a fabulous fight, two absolute gladiators who didn't leave anything in the ring in an epic fight in the most important fight of the 21st century.

"A very very close fight and I think it will be an even bigger one next time."
