The news comes one day after the fight was postponed due to a cut above Fury's right eye, which was sustained in training.

While WBC champion Fury will remain sidelined for the next few months, unified titleholder Usyk is "talking" to IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic about a potential fight on the original Feb. 17 date, according to promoter Alex Krassyuk.
