Fight talks broke down
Former World Light Heavyweight Champion Alexander Gvozdyk commented on the possible unification fight between the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and WBC champion Tyson Fury.
“I believe that the Usyk-Fury fight will take place. Why not? What surprises me about this situation, and it’s hard to believe, but it seems to me that Usyk got a little bit into Fury’s head.
“I saw him, I saw how he behaves at press conferences with other boxers. This guy is 100% sure of himself. But I don’t see this with Alexander.”
“Sanya knows how to demoralize or hypnotize his opponents. I think it works with Fury too. I can’t say that Fury is afraid of him, and I think this is a very difficult fight for Usyk, but I believe that he can win.”
“Something is going on there. There are rumors that they canceled the fight because someone offered more money. It’s possible, but I don’t know for sure. Who broke the duel – I don’t know either. ”
“I know that Sanya agreed to 30%, but if we are talking about money, this is not only a boxer’s decision. Of course, the boxer makes the final decision, but there is a team, managers, promoters. Everyone is interested, so we’ll see.”
Previously Usyk signed a contract with Skill Challenge Entertainment from Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainian believes that this cooperation will help organize the fight with Fury.
Skill Challenge Entertainment is planning a massive boxing night in the Middle East in December. Representatives of the company are negotiating the organization of the fight between Usyk and Fury, as well as the fight between two former world champions – Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.
Usyk is preparing for his next fight with British Daniel Dubois. The fight is scheduled to take place on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland. Previously, options for holding a championship fight in the UK and the Middle East were considered.
Fury defeated Derek Chisora by TKO in his last fight. The Briton planned to have a unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk, but the Ukrainian pulled out of negotiations due to contract disagreements.
