The champion criticized the proposal to distribute the fee for the fight 50 to 50
WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury declared that he could easily cope with the ex-owner of four belts Anthony Joshua. According to him, the distribution of the fee for the upcoming fight 50 to 50 is out of the question, since the “Gypsy King” is much stronger.
“Why did I, the best fighter in the world, challenge AJ? Because the other guy who just beat him, Usyk, doesn’t want to get it from me. He came out and publicly said, “I don’t want to fight Tyson until next year.
Does Joshua sell tickets? I have the largest audience in the history of the UK, 94,000 people. And Hearn is happy with the 40% they get.”
“Honestly, when two giant heavyweights like us are swinging at each other in the ring, anything can happen at any moment. However, I always said that when I fight Joshua, he will be removed. Within six or seven rounds, if he lasts that long.”

Joshua accepted Tyson Fury’s offer. The boxer also agrees to the distribution of the fee 60 to 40 in favor of the current world champion. Boxers are considering three dates for the fight – November 26, December 3 and December 17.
In August, Joshua lost by split decision to Ukrainian boxer, WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury defeated Dillian Whyte ahead of schedule in April of this year, after which he announced his retirement twice. At the same time, Tyson has not yet vacated the WBC championship belt.
