The promoter of the Ukrainian boxer denied the rumors about the big money lost by the athlete.
Oleksandr Usyk won’t lose a lot of money from canceling his fight with Tyson Fury. According to the promoter of the Ukrainian boxer Alexander Krasyuk, for a fight against the WBC belt holder, his client will receive three times less than for the most profitable fight.
The official said that Oleksandr Usyk received the biggest payment of his career for his last fight – a rematch with Anthony Joshua. And the only purpose of the rivalry with Fury is to unify the championship belts.
“I hear from everywhere that Usyk received the biggest payment of his career for the fight with Fury, but this is not true. The money that Usyk should have earned from this fight is probably three times less than he earned for his last performance. .
So it’s definitely not the biggest money for Usyk. He accepted the 70-30 split because he wanted to be part of the fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
Usyk wants the world to see this fight, and especially his homeland, Ukraine, where he is a source of inspiration and hope,” Krasyuk said in a comment on Seconds Out.
We will remind, Tyson Fury’s coach previously said that the Briton did not even begin to prepare for the fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
