It's screaming silence from his side and, surely they would need a certain amount of time to promote the fight and sell tickets etc.
Sounds more and more likely that it won't happen:

I did say at the start the time constraints may be a problem. Rushing for Ramadan is not important to a practising catholic. I will be delighted if it does end up at Wembley. I’m still pretty sure they’ll fight.

Re: Your boxing predictions for 2023
His advantage over cruisers is being able to maul in close and box at range , I don't see these being able to out strength a decent heavy, plus even though he's a champion at cruiser I'm not convinced on his chin , at the higher weight there will be bigger punchers and I think he'll get found out quicklyJamesPhilips wrote: ↑05 Jan 2023, 07:34Interesting - Why do you think Okolie will have a disaster?

Fury will fight Usyk and win by controversial decision.

Al Cole was similar. A decent cruiserweight champion but lost all his advantages at heavyweight.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑07 Jan 2023, 07:07Yup makes sense.
