Frank Warren once again accused potential opponents of not wanting to fight his ward for the belt.
Tyson Fury’s promoter has revealed why his client chose to fight former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. Frank Warren again accused the Briton’s potential rivals of not wanting to fight.
According to the functionary, the British team was looking for an opponent for him, but the top stars refused.
“We were trying to do a title defense. It has to be commercial in the first place. Andy Ruiz can’t come here and ask for $20 million. It’s pointless.
There is also a situation where other men don’t need the title. Joshua had just finished a warm-up fight but decided it was better to fight the man Tyson beat than to fight for the belt and get 40 percent of the pay. Their excuses are pure nonsense. We went down this path last December, but just wasted a lot of time. If we knew everything would be like this, we wouldn’t waste time.
There was a fight that everyone wanted to see, including us and including Tyson, and we offered Usyk. But they refused because they thought they could get a better option. That’s why they did it. Now everything is as it is”, – quoted the words of Warren Boxing Scene.
It will be remembered that the fight between Fury and Ngannou is scheduled for October 28.
Earlier, the ex-world champion called out the real reason for Fury’s refusal to fight Usyk.
