WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) commented on a possible fight with WBC title holder Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).

“I can’t say anything about the fight with Tyson Fury yet: at the moment the fight is not planned, since the negotiations, let’s say, are at an impasse. For Fury, boxing is not only a sport, but also a show. And there is another factor - money.. He talks about them all the time and voices some incredible amounts that he wants to get for the fight..

I believe that all his loud statements are passions.. Without it, nowhere. So what is he afraid of He is a professional athlete. And even if he loses, he will take his. It's no secret that fees are prescribed for both parties.. If he wants to draw intrigue, his right, but no one will run after him or make concessions. The fight will take place sooner or later. And everything will be decided in the ring,"

We will remind, Usyk’s team agreed to share the fee for the fight with Fury 30 to 70 in favor of the British, so that the boxing evening took place on April 29 at Wembley in London. However, the parties failed to reach an agreement.

The winner of the fight between Usyk and Fury could become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The Ukrainian boxer has already held this title in the heavyweight division.
