Meanwhile, Warren admitted the fight is now a ‘dead duck’, accusing Usyk of ‘looking for a way out’ and having his head ‘turned’ by the possibility of bouts in Saudi Arabia.“He has been in training camp for two and a half weeks, got trainers in from America and they looked for a way to get out.”Usyk previously accepted a 70/30 split in Fury’s favour, but denied the Brit’s call to scrap the proposed rematch clause.
It is understood the Ukrainian wanted the rematch clause to contain a 70/30 split in favour of the winner – which was rejected by Fury. Warren fears Usyk’s mandatory title defences as IBF, WBA and WBO champion could mean the fight never goes ahead.“That’s why after the 29th it goes away.”Anthony Joshua’s quest to become a three-time heavyweight champion begins onagainst Jermaine Franklin and talkSPORT will be live from London’s O2 to bring you coverage of the fight., DAB digital radio, download the talkSPORT app, or ask your smart speaker to play talkSPORT or talkSPORT 2.
