Usyk’s Promoter Mocks Tyson Fury In Hilarious Response To 70/30 Split Demand

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter has hilariously responded to Tyson Fury’s offer of a 70/30 purse split for a potential undisputed clash on April 29th.

Fury took to social media today to put forward the deal to Usyk, after reports emerged earlier in the week that ‘The Gypsy King’ had turned down an offer of a 60/40 split in favour of the eventual winner.

And Alex Krassyuk wasted no time issuing a retort to Fury in the comments of the post on Instagram.

‘Browsing for fresh underwear in the shopping mall?’

The chances of the fight happening next seem increasingly less likely, with the touted date in April drawing ever nearer and talks appearing to have come to a standstill.

After previously seeming confident the two elite heavyweights would be made next, Fury’s Promoter Frank Warren’s tone when speaking on the fight has changed drastically, stating in a recent interview that he “can’t force the pair to get into the ring.”

After talks with representatives from Saudi Arabia collapsed, Wembley Stadium is expected to play host should the fight get made, the same venue where Fury broke the all time British boxing attendance record last May for his knockout victory over Dillian Whyte.

It is believed the WBC champion will fight at the famous venue on April 29th regardless of whether Usyk is the man in the opposite corner or not.

If a deal with the skilful Ukrainian cannot be struck, the likes of Andy Ruiz Jr, Deontay Wilder and even former UFC champion Francis Ngannou are all rumoured options for Fury.
