Tyson is still low on money
WBC title holder Tyson Fury turned to the Ukrainian WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk with a new proposal for the distribution of fees for a possible unification bout.
“I see all this talk about the fight. From my point of view, Usyk, you and your team are worth 30%. Either take it or leave it.”
“And if you don’t want that, go and fight Daniel Dubois and get a few million dollars. If you want to earn real money, come and fight the Gypsy King.”
Usyk’s side previously offered an equal distribution of income – “50-50”, after which they changed the proposal to “60-40” in favor of the winner of the fight.
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.
Usyk’s promoter Oleksandr Krasyuk at first stated that he was optimistic about the imminent signing of a contract for a unification fight. However, Krasyuk soon changed his mind and said that Fury’s team was not even preparing for the fight.
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.
