Promoter Al ash-Sheikh said that there will be a fine for another disruption of the fight between Usyk and Fury
The Saudi adviser to the royal court, Turki Al al-Sheikh, who is the promoter of the fight between Tyson Fury and Alexander Usik, warned of sanctions for athletes in the event of a new disruption of the fight. His words are quoted by MMA Fighting.
According to him, the boxer who disrupted the meeting will pay a fine of $10 million. “If Usyk refuses the fight, I will arrange a meeting between Fury and Anthony Joshua. If Tyson merges, then I will give Usik any boxer he wants,” said Al ash-Sheikh.
On February 3, a new date for the fight between Briton Fury and Ukrainian Usik became known. The fight will take place on May 18, 2024. Both athletes confirmed that they agreed to fight in Saudi Arabia.
The fight was originally scheduled to take place on February 18, but was postponed due to Fury’s injury. He suffered a cut on his eyebrow during sparring. Thus, the fight between the Briton and the Ukrainian was postponed for the third time.
