BREAKING: Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter reveals real reason behind failed Tyson Fury fight negotiations
Alex Krassyuk, the promoter of Oleksandr Usyk, recently announced that the much-anticipated heavyweight boxing showdown between Usyk and Tyson Fury will not be taking place.
The news has left many fans disappointed, as the fight was highly anticipated by boxing enthusiasts around the world. Despite months of anticipation and excitement, it seems that the two fighters will not be meeting in the ring any time soon.
Krassyuk claimed in a recent interview with Sky Sports that the eagerly awaited heavyweight boxing battle between Usyk and Fury has been canceled due to disagreements over the terms of an immediate rematch. The match was scheduled to take place on April 29th at Wembley Stadium.
While Usyk had previously agreed to a 70/30 purse split in Fury's favor, the failure to agree on the conditions for a rematch appears to have caused a rift between the two teams. Usyk's camp reportedly indicated that they will no longer participate in the bout.
The boxing promoter stated:
"I will try to express how disappointed I am, not just for Usyk, not just for this fight not happening, but for all boxing fans around the world. Because this is probably the most anticipated fight, the most awaited fight with Tyson Fury, the most wanted one, not just from the fans but from our side as well."
"If it’s a one fight deal, then it has to be 50/50.” 🤝

"Fury is a disgrace. He should vacate his belt. He has only fought TWO top ten heavyweights in the last 8 years! (Wilder & Whyte) since beating Klitschko - & denied Wlad a rematch!"
