Alexander is upset that there is no positive news on the fight with Fury
Alexander Krasyukpromoter of WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usykspoke about the negotiations on the organization unification battle with WBC champion Tyson Fury.
“I’ve been in talks with Fury’s promoters since around July of last year. They started before Usyk had his second fight with Joshua. Everyone was completely sure that he would win, so we started discussions, and since then we have been negotiating. But, unfortunately, so far only talks, nothing serious has happened so far.”
“So we are now at the stage where the fight has not yet been agreed. Nothing has been decided, and it is very difficult to predict what will happen in the near future. Since we have very little time, we are under pressure, so we really do our best, but for our part, we are responsible for Usyk.
“He has been in training camp since December so he is in great shape. Before coming to London, I visited him. He has an ideal psychological and physical condition, he is ready to work. When he heard that the fight might be in jeopardy, he was a little upset because he was preparing for the biggest fight in the history of heavyweight boxing.”
Fury and Usyk plan to hold a face-to-face fight for the title of absolute world champion on April 29 in London at Wembley Stadium. The Ukrainian is actively preparing – there is only one day off in Alexander’s training schedule.
Earlier, Krasyuk stated that he was optimistic about the imminent signing of a contract for a unification fight. Usyk offered Fury a new fee distribution scheme – 60 to 40 in favor of the winner of the fight. Prior to this, Usyk’s side had proposed an equal distribution of income.
In turn, the father of the British John Fury is sure that the distribution of the fee should be 60 to 40 in favor of Tyson, and promoter Frank Warren said that if negotiations on a unification fight between Usyk and Fury are not completed in the near future, then he will study others. options for your client.
