After several weeks defoliating the daisy, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk can’t agree. What was going to be the fight of the year, in which the British and the Ukrainian tried to unify the heavyweight titles they hold, is on its way to becoming borage water. Negotiations between the two fighters are becoming more and more complicated, and Now Usyk’s own agent has revealed that everything is stopped at the moment.
Speaking to ESPN, Egis Klimas assured that Usyk is no longer preparing to fight Fury in April, and that his return will be this coming summer. “No matter how committed Usyk was, they pushed him to do more,” Klimas stated. Some words that go along the same lines as what was pronounced by Alex Krassyuk, promoter of the Ukrainian, in TalkSport. “If I start telling you the things I wanted, 15 minutes is not enough. There was a list of requests that were absolutely unacceptable, a lack of respect.”
The truth is that less than two weeks ago the green light was given for this fight in which the heavyweight titles were going to be unified for the first time since 2000. It had been accepted that the ‘Gipsy King’ would take 70% of the bag and that, in addition, he would donate one million euros to rebuild Ukraine, and April 29 at Wembley Stadium was the chosen date. However, new demands and discrepancies on these same have once again stalled the fight. A new slowdown in the boxing soap opera of the year.
