DAZN News Daily Round-Up - Usyk eyed for Wardley-Dubois winner, Fury sets promoter
DAZN News rounds-up up boxing's biggest stories for Thursday, March 12.
Usyk eyed for Wardley-Dubois winner
Oleksandr Usyk will be chased for the winner of Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois' WBO title bout, Frank Warren says.
The Ukrainian, who holds the other three major heavyweight straps in the division, will next face Rico Verhoeven in May.
Wardley and Dubois will meet in Manchester just weeks prior, and whoever emerges victorious will be chasing Usyk next.
"We're up for that," Warren told Sky Sports News . "it's very encouraging. Certainly for the two , it gives them a lot of incentive."
Fury comeback promoter confirmed
Tyson Fury appears set to see his comeback fight with Arslanbek Makhmudov promoted by Gold Star's Spencer Brown in April.
The pair have long been close, with the former managed by the latter - but their relationship appears set to go one step further.

Traditionally, Fury has been represented by Queensberry Promotions, though questions remain over Warren's involvement here.
Boxing Scene suggests however that Brown will take the lead for the star's heavyweight clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Hitchins mulls Zuffa amid Opetaia drama
Richardson Hitchins is reportedly torn over a potential move to Zuffa following the continued fallout of Jai Opetaia's title drama.
The Australian joined the upstart body, but saw his IBF title reportedly stripped at short-notice beforehand last week in Las Vegas.
Opetaia believes he still has the crown, and appears to be readying legal action in order to avoid surrendering his major crown.
The Ring says it is a headache for Hitchins however, whose own IBF crown could be under threat if he opts to switch tracks with Zuffa.
