The Ukrainian boxer realized that the fight would not take place after the incredible conditions presented under the British contract.
At first Tyson Fury did not want to fight for the title of absolute world champion, but he played only for his fans. This is what the world champion in the WBA, WBO and IBF versions, Alexander Usik, said.
The Ukrainian boxer spoke about negotiations with the WBC title holder. According to him, the Briton did not even start training, but only put more and more incredible conditions to break the signing of the contract.
“When did I realize there was no fight? When Tyson Fury said about 70 to 30. I mean, my whole team said: “Listen, well, this is a crazy man.” I literally say the next day: “I Agree.” Well, everything like: “Wow!” I say it’s not about the money, it’s about the fight. It’s about the absolute, which is what many are waiting for person.
Money is good. It’s extra for my family and with that money I help those in need, but this is the fight, the size of the fight that hasn’t been seen in the heavyweight division for decades.
He thought I disagreed that I would say: “No!”. I agreed to these conditions, then he said about the rematch, although his team entered the rematch, not mine. Then, when I agreed to it, they wrote: “OK, let’s then the next fight 70 to 30 in our favor.” They said, “You’ve gone crazy.” Well, I understand that this is a game from Tyson Fury.
I guess he didn’t exercise. He entered the gym and shouted: “I boxed 15 rounds of sparring.” Listen, well, you can box 15 rounds in one minute, 30 seconds. Well, he’s an unpredictable guy, he wants a lot of things, he pulls the blanket over himself too much. He couldn’t even imagine that I agreed to all the conditions he offered me. I agree with everything.
With him, you can’t be sure three percent or even one that he will go to the duel. He plays his game and considers himself a king,” Usyk said in an interview with Volodymyr Kobelkov on the Kievsky Torte YouTube channel.
Earlier, Usyk expressed confidence that the fight with Fury would take place, but not on April 29.
