The WBC heavyweight world champion recounted why his rivalry with the Ukrainian fell apart.
Tyson Fury really wants to have a unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk. However, negotiations on the contrary were broken. This was said himself by the British WBC world heavyweight champion.
According to him, Anthony Joshua, who is eligible for a rematch with the Ukrainian, wants a lot of money for his refusal to fight.
“They told me that this deal was very close. We were all ready to do our part, to sign everything needed for the match to happen. But they didn’t. They created a lot of conditions. They wanted it, they wanted it. ito .. more, Joshua wanted his own. They tried to control everything. The good side of all this is that on April 23 I still have my fight.
I am the top of the tree. And I don’t want other people to decide what they will do with my career. I fight on my own terms and on my dates. Let them be champions first and then determine when they want to fight.
The only reason the Usyk fight didn’t happen was because Joshua wanted more money, literally at the last minute. And he thought I would give him an extra $ 5 million, naively, ”Fury told vringe.com.
