The promoter of the Ukrainian boxer said that the British world champion will not walk away from the fight so easily.
Oleksandr Usik has a plan of action in case WBC champion Tyson Fury refuses to fight again. The promoter of the Ukrainian boxer Alexander Krasyuk spoke about it.
According to him, Usik, in any case, will enter the ring on May 18. However, if the Briton refuses again, then the Ukrainian will have another opponent, and Alexander will also receive a large financial compensation .
“I don’t have much confidence that the rematch will happen. If Tyson Fury loses, is he confident enough to get back in the ring? Theoretically he can, but we all know what happened in the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko .
That’s why we developed this Lapin rule. Sergey Lapin is Usyk’s trainer, meaning Tyson Fury will have to pay a £10 million fine if he pulls out of the fight. This was done to prevent his fifth withdrawal,” Boxing Scene quotes Krasyuk.
We remind you that the fight between Fury and Usik will take place on May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Previously, Krasiuk called on Croatian Hrgovic to be ready to replace Fury in the May 18 fight.
