“Fury, what you are talking about is greatness in boxing. At the same time, you say, ‘Give me a lot of money.’ Greatness in boxing is not determined by money, greatness comes from winning.
You said I was avoiding you. Although in truth I did not shy away and went to you myself. So I’m ready to box with you even without prize money,” Usyk wrote on Twitter.
