TYSON FURY said "sausage" Oleksandr Usyk faces being SUED if he does not fight him in December.
The pair of unbeaten champions have signed an agreement to meet in the heavyweight division's first four-belt unification bout.
And promoters had eyed a December 23 Christmas cracker – only for Usyk to claim he will instead need a 14-week training camp.
That would push the historic undisputed title decider into the new year – something Fury insisted cannot and will not happen.
He toldSky Sports: “Usyk’s a sausage.
“I expect it to be taking place in December, that’s what I’ve been told, so I’ve got no reason to disbelieve it. Usyk has to fight me in December, doesn’t have a choice.

"He signed the contract, so if he doesn’t, he’s breached contract and he gets sued. So he doesn’t really have a choice.”
Usyk, 36, most recently beat Daniel Dubois, 25, after nine rounds of a mandatory defence of his titles in Poland.
Meanwhile Fury, 35, returns this Saturday against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 36, in Saturday's crossover clash.
The title bout with Usyk is set to follow after but the Ukrainian spoke out to reveal his training demands.

He said on his YouTube channel: "I can't say that everything's OK, but I'm fine.
"Some wounds, old injuries need to be healed. Everything's under control.
