Sergei Lapin, team director for WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, mocked WBC title holder Tyson Fury after news that their potential unification bout fell through. In his Instagram stories, he published a post in which he trolls the British boxer. " This is going to be the bomb,"

Note that in his last fight, on the night of December 4, 2022, the “Gypsy King” defeated his compatriot Derek Chisora \u200b\u200bby knockout. This was the third fight between the boxers. In the first confrontation, held in 2011, Tyson won by unanimous decision, and in 2014 Derek refused to continue the fight after the tenth round. The duel for the title of absolute world champion between Usyk and Fury was supposed to take place on April 29 in London at the Wembley Stadium, but the Ukrainian and the Briton could not agree on the terms of the contract for the fight. On March 22, it became known that Usyk closed the training camp in which he was preparing for the fight with Fury.. The promoter of the Ukrainian Oleksandr Krasyuk also confirmed that this fight will not take place.. In turn, the manager of the Ukrainian boxer Egis Klimas said that Alexander was going to focus on the mandatory protection of the belts and return to the ring in June-July this year.. The rival of the Ukrainian can become a mandatory challenger in the WBA line Briton Daniel Dubois. Recall Usyk accepted Fury's ultimatum on the distribution of the fee for the title fight according to the 70% to 30% scheme in favor of the Briton. Later, Fury set Usyk a new condition for the title fight - the absence of a rematch option in the contract for the fight..

In response, the Ukrainian team put forward an ultimatum to the British: either the fight will take place on April 29, or Alexander will fight with another opponent.. The 36-year-old Usyk has 20 wins (13 by knockout) in 20 fights. He held four of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there.. The 34-year-old Fury has 33 wins (24 by KO) and one draw.
