The promoter of the Ukrainian world champion spoke about the main problem with signing the contract.
The only problem with signing a contract to fight for the undisputed heavyweight title is Tyson Fury’s greed. Promoter Alexander Krasyuk said this.
The representative of Oleksandr Usyk said that the Briton initially set impractical and unfair conditions for the distribution of the fee. The functionary suggested that the WBC belt holder was not ready for the fight.
“We’ve said we want this fight to happen and we’re in a position to share what this fight brings. If the fight generates more money, we’re happy to share it. If not, then there is.
It’s about fame, legacy, greatness. There has never been a fight like this, so we really want everything to happen. Boxing is a two-man sport and if only Usyk enters the ring, there will be no unconditional duel. It will be a shadow fight of a champion.
What can I say? We are open, ready to meet. Perhaps someone who likes to avoid danger and stay in a comfortable position. I don’t know, I don’t care. If Tyson doesn’t show up, we still have the belts and we’ll go our own way.
At first we agreed on a 50/50 fee split, but then Tyson asked for a little more money. We made it clear that we were ready to go 60/40, but the winner would get 60. That was our final offer. Fury refused.
I have experience. Usually, when a fighter doesn’t want to accept a fight, he asks for something impossible to keep the fight from happening. On the other hand, I am an optimist. Tyson might not be ready yet. Maybe he’s not ready mentally, maybe he’s not ready physically – whatever. I don’t know and we don’t care.
We want to do this. If Tyson doesn’t want to, we can’t force him. So what can I say? The fight will happen one day,” Krasyuk was quoted as saying by Talk Sport.
Remember that Tyson Fury previously fired Oleksandr Usyk for being intransigent.
