FRANK WARREN has dropped a huge hint over Tyson Fury's fight with Oleksandr Usyk following a period of uncertainty.
The pair of unbeaten champions publicly agreed a split to unify their belts but behind the scenes talks appeared to hit a snag.
Usyk worryingly tweeted out that the "clock is ticking" after claiming his team did "everything in our power to make it happen".
And rival promoter Eddie Hearn also cast doubt on Fury's fighting shape as the scheduled April 29 fight fast approaches.
But Hall of Famer Warren has put fans at ease as he celebrated Arsenal's 4-1 win over Crystal Palace by teasing a fight announcement.
He tweeted: "Arsenal 8 points clear! Even bigger news to come!"

"The ball is on #Greedybelly’s side now. We did everything in our power to make it happen."
Usyk's manager Egis Klimas has previously maintained their acceptance of 70/30 is only valid for a fight on April 29, just six weeks away.
And any postponement will cause a renegotiation of 50/50 split between the unbeaten pair.
But further hope was revealed when Fury was captured filming a promotional shoot for a fight with Usyk as signs point towards an impending announcement.
