MEN’S BOXING: Undisputed world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk confirmed today he will vacate his IBF title, clearing the way for Anthony Joshua to fight for it. 

With the Ukrainian now contracted to a rematch with Fury, he is not in a position to defend the IBF crown against interim champion and mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.

That means Dubois’ expected fight against Joshua at Wembley in September could now be for the vacant title.
