Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) reacted sharply to the words of Tyson Fury (33-0-, 24 KOs), who accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the April 29 fight. Our compatriot noted that it was the team of the Gypsy King, as the native of Manchester is called, who dragged out the negotiations in every possible way and introduced new clauses into the contract.
Usyk stated this in an interview with the YouTube channel Seconds Out. He added that it was Fury who insisted that a condition for a mandatory rematch be included in the contract. In addition, Alexander compared the complexity of the fights with Fury and the American Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), who had previously expressed confidence that the Ukrainian was afraid of him.
“Why didn’t the fight with Fury take place in the spring? Because of the greed of Tyson Fury. But I don’t even have thoughts of treating him less respectfully. I pray for him. It was his team that offered to prescribe a rematch in the contract, not mine. “I’m lying already. I’m sick of it. Tyson Fury wanted to fight Usyk, but without Usyk. Fury or Wilder? I think it would be more difficult for me to fight Wilder,” Usyk said.
Recall that in December, Saudi Arabia intends to organize fights between Usyk – Fury and Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) – Wilder 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 GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, promoter Alexander Krasyuk announced a new date for the fight between Alexander Usik and Daniel Dubois. Oleksandr Usyk himself said that he was going to arrange a fight with Fury.
