The two undefeated fighters are set to face off in the biggest heavyweight fight of the century in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury has won 33 fights with one draw since turning professional in 2008. Usyk has won all 21 of his bouts, but defended his titles against Britain's Daniel Dubois in controversial fashion in August.
Dubois claimed he had been"cheated" out of victory after referee Luis Pabon ruled he had struck Usyk with a low blow in the fifth round, which led to a lengthy delay."Difficult to express my admiration for being part of the biggest heavyweight fight of the century. Respect to Tyson for his courage." Fury, 35, is due to fight former UFC world heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Riyadh, when his WBC title will not be on the line.
Fury's proposed unification fight with Usyk at Wembley in April fell through and the decision to stage the contest in Saudi Arabia is likely to attack criticism given concerns over the country's human rights record. The Gulf state has hosted a number of high-profile bouts in recent years, including Usyk's win against Anthony Joshua in Jeddah last year.
