A heavyweight encounter that was shelved due to the pandemic caused by coronavirus is back on the front burner. Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn has revealed that a showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and Derek Chisora is on track to take place on Halloween.

I had a phone call tonight from Alex Krassyuk, who’s the co-promoter of Oleksandr Usyk saying, ‘Any news? We’re ready to go, Hearn told Sky Sports. They’re the phone calls we’re getting quite a lot at the moment, and the pressure mounts on us to come up with. Dereck is training really hard. October 31st is the date we have penciled in for that fight, but it’s dependent on the current deal driving people through the doors and having some kind of gate or moving it internationally and having a site fee.
The fight will be just the second in the heavyweight division for Usyk, a 2012 Olympics gold medal winner and a former unified and undisputed cruiserweight champion. The southpaw Usyk made his heavyweight debut last October with a stoppage win against Chazz Witherspoon in Chicago.
The 36-year-old Chisora finished last year with a 3-0 record with wins against Senad Gashi in April, Artur Szplila in July and David Price in October. Again, is a really important fight. When this thing started, I had three main names and that was to deliver Whyte-Povetkin, Usyk-Chisora, and Joshua against Pulev, said Hearn. And to make sure the other stable could have the opportunities, keep moving forward and progressing their careers.
