This is old news (1 week ago), so maybe it was posted earlier. Couldn't find it in the search so I'll drop it anyway. Apparently Fury is risking a £200 million lawsuit from the Saudis for not sticking to the December date to fight Usyk. But if he doesn't end up getting sued, I wonder if his postponement of the fight date might mean the Saudis won't be willing to pay him the previously agreed amount for Usyk. Because to them, the date was important and the delay has messed up some major plans. So now another possible knock-on effect of that is that if Fury's purse is reduced (lets say hypothetically by half) it might cause Fury to pull out of the fight entirely? Worrying times for this fake undisputed fight between two former champs.

Fury had previously announced he would be fighting Usyk two days before Christmas.
But, since going up against Ngannou, the veteran has sounded less confident that the fight will go ahead.
Should the date have to be changed, then Saudi Arabian chiefs could sue Fury for a massive £200m.
They reportedly have a whole festival planned around the event and know it will be lucrative - as well as beneficial to the country.
However, Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk has now given Fury hope of a delay by saying they're open to agreeing to fresh terms.
