The fight for the title of the absolute world boxing champion between the holder of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF belts Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20 wins, 13 of them by knockout) and WBC champion Briton Tyson Fury (33 wins, 24 of them by knockout, 1 draw), which was supposed to take place on April 29 at the famous London Wembley, canceled due to the exorbitant financial appetites of the Gypsy King. This was confirmed by Alexander Krasyuk, the promoter of the Ukrainian boxer, who has already closed the training camp.
“If I start to retell you a list of Fury’s requirements, not one, not five, not fifteen minutes will be enough, – quotes Alexandra Krasyuka talkSport. There was a whole list of everything he wanted to get in his favor, and these requirements were completely unacceptable, they were a complete disrespect for the unified champion and the former undisputed champion. With regret in my heart, I must admit that the battle will not take place. Usyk will take a short break and fulfill his obligations.
The whole truth is that Usyk’s expected fee for the fight with Fury would be 3 or even 4 times less than for the last fight with Joshua. Do not believe the rumors that Usek would have made some incredible money in this fight. It is not true. From a financial point of view, the conditions were normal, nothing more. But Alexander accepted it. He’s interested in all the division titles.”
Recall that Usyk agreed to only 30 percent of the fee in the battle with Fury (on the condition that the Gypsy King transfer £ 1 million to help Ukraine), but in case of victory, he demanded that the British get the same “meager” percentage in revenge. The same insisted on 50 to 50.
What’s next? The next opponent of the Olympic champion Usyk will most likely be one of the mandatory contenders for each of the belts owned by the Ukrainian - the British Daniel Dubois (19 wins, 18 of them by knockout, 1 loss) from the WBA and Joe Joyce (15 wins, 14 of them by knockout) ) from the WBO, as well as Croatian Philipp Hrgovic (15 wins, 12 of them by knockout) from the IBF. Since the organizations have agreed on the order of title defense, the first on the list is Dubois, the last is Joyce (both on the contract with Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren).
“We talked to Frank. Both came to the conclusion that it is time to tie up with the negotiations on the Usyk-Fury fight, - said the Ukrainian promoter in an interview with iFL TV - We decided this week to start negotiations on the fight with Dubois. This is the most likely opponent, but everything will depend on his state of health. Everything will depend on whether he is ready to fight.”
As you know, 25-year-old WBA World belt holder Daniel Dubois, who suffered his only setback in 2020 against Joe Joyce, suffered an ACL injury against Kevin Lerena of South Africa on December 3, 2022. six months. The Briton has already returned to light training, but it is possible that Usyk’s next opponent will be the 198-centimeter Croat Hrgovic, nicknamed the Beast.
Earlier reported that Oleksandr Usyk’s wife spoke about what the Reshists profited from in their house near Kiev, and who lives there now.
