Usyk’s manager says Fury refused to pay $1 million to Ukraine
The manager of the Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk Oleksandr Krasyuk said that Briton Tyson Fury refused to pay one million dollars to Ukraine during the negotiations about the fight. His words are quoted by Boxing Social.
Krasyuk admitted that Usyk agreed to 30 percent of the fee with 70 percent to the British, but put forward a condition under which the opponent had to transfer money to Ukraine. Tyson didn’t want to. And I will never tell you the reason, because it will destroy his image forever,” he stressed.
On June 28, it was reported that Fury refused to fight Usyk at the super tournament in Saudi Arabia, scheduled for December 2023. Initially, the boxers were supposed to meet on April 29, but failed to agree on the distribution of fees.
Fury has 33 wins, one draw and no losses. He owns the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight championship belt.
Usyk has 20 wins in 20 fights. He holds the World Boxing Organization (WBO), International Boxing Federation (IBF), International Boxing Organization (IBO) and WBA Super heavyweight championship belts.
