UFC president Dana White criticises ‘shocking’ delay in booking Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk
UFC president Dana White has hit out at Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk over ‘shocking’ delays in making their undisputed title bout.
The heavyweight duo have been locked in talks over an April 29 fight that would see a four-belt champion crowned for the first time in division’s history.Advertisement Just last week, the pay-per-view blockbuster seemed to be dead in the water as ‘The Gypsy King’ and Usyk struggled to reach a financial agreement for a Wembley Stadium showdown.
However, Fury then made a shock public offer of a 70/30 purse split in his favour, which Usyk unexpectedly has suggested the fight will not happen.On Friday, his promoter Alex Krassyuk tweeted: “Much ado about nothing… The rat race and monkey business.” And his manager Egis Klimas added: “The deeper we go the more chance to pull out the plug. Sorry to our fans!”to sign to fight him and if it’s not met he’ll move on to defend his WBA, WBO and IBF belts against somebody else.
