The Briton insists that he could beat the Ukrainian champion even during training
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury demands $500 million for unification fight with WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usyk. The Briton said that the Ukrainian is too light for the fight to be interesting from a sporting point of view.
“This fight is just for the money. I am happy in retirement, I have a lot of money. This should be the largest salary in the world. Floyd Mayweather received $400 million for Manny Pacquiao. I want $500 million for Usyk.”
“The whole legendary pound-for-pound status – I don’t appreciate it. It’s just good cover. I’ll tell you, I could beat Usyk during a week’s training because he’s a middleweight, I’ll punch him… It’s an easy fight.”
Recall that Fury said that he gives a period of seven days to all interested people who want to organize his fight with Usyk. Otherwise, Tyson will not return to the ring.
Earlier it was reported that Fury instructed his co-promoter Frank Warren to organize the next fight for the unification of all heavyweight belts with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Earlier, Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krasyuk, denied that the fight with Fury would be held on December 17 in Saudi Arabia. According to him, negotiations are ongoing.
According to the Daily Mail, the venue for the fight will be the capital of Saudi Arabia – Riyadh. The total honorary fund is 125 million pounds. They want to fight on the eve of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar.
In July, Tyson said that he would not be satisfied with the amount of 200 million pounds. According to him, he will return to the ring for 500 million pounds.
Immediately after the rematch victory over Joshua Usyk called out WBC champion Tyson Fury to fight. Following the results of all twelve rounds, Usyk defeated Joshua by a split decision of the judges.
