Unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) is only interested in the opportunity to earn as much money as possible for the fight with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). It is for this reason that the Ukrainian refused to fight on April 29 and intends to organize a show in Saudi Arabia.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with talkSPORT Fight Night by the promoter of the Gypsy King, as the British boxer is called, Frank Vooren. He demanded that Usyk’s team not make a greedy person out of his client, although it was Tyson who, in an ultimatum form, set the condition for the distribution of the fee to the Ukrainian in the ratio of 70% to 30% in his favor.
“All Usyk is interested in is getting a big fee and fighting for big fees in Saudi Arabia. I don’t blame him for that. I understand this, but don’t make Tyson a greedy person. You are going to Saudi Arabia because they will pay there a lot of money That’s the thing If you get paid three or four times the money call it greed or good business or whatever but that’s not Tyson Fury’s problem That’s why Usyk didn’t want to fight Tyson Fury in the UK,” he said Warren.
Recall, Usek on August 26 must hold a mandatory defense in a duel against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs). It is also known that Saudi Arabia in December intends to organize fights Usyk – Fury and Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) – Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) in one evening. The boxers’ fees for the grand show were published in the media. The total amount will be at least $250 million. At the same time, Anthony has already confirmed his fight against Deontay.
Earlier, Tyson called Usyk an ugly coward and expressed his readiness to fight the Ukrainian in the summer. In addition, he accused the Ukrainian of greed, which led to the disruption of the battle on April 29. And Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn expressed his confidence that Fury would not fight until winter.
At a press conference in Tenerife, Tyson Fury recently noted the boorish idea of Oleksandr Usyk. He also promised to destroy the Ukrainian champion.
As reported by GLOBAL HAPPENINGS, Oleksandr Usyk said that he intends to arrange a fight with Tyson Fury. Also, the Ukrainian boxer accused his British opponent of lying.
