Boxing's heavyweight division is one step closer to unification, with title holders Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk agreeing to fight each other next.

Between them, 34-year-old Fury and 35-year-old Usyk hold all of heavyweight boxing's major titles.

A bout between the two fighters would see the victor claim all four major titles, and unify the division for the first time since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Speaking to Sky Sports UK, Fury's co-promoter Bob Arum says both fighters want the bout as their next move, with early 2023 mooted as a date.
