This week, fight fans read how “fresh talks” have begun regarding a heavyweight unification showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury – you know, the fight that should have already happened by now.
Newly crowned WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhilei Zhang would like to challenge IBF/WBA/WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk next.
However, Joe ‘The Juggernaut’ Joyce wants an immediate rematch with Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KOs) to avenge his sixth round stoppage loss earlier this month on April 15th.
Eddi Hearn says representatives in Saudi Arabia are looking to assemble a monstrous two-fight card on the night, involving Anthony Joshua battling Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury & Oleksandr Usyk fighting for the undisputed heavyweight championship, with fighters hauling in $400 million in combined purses.
Unified WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has broken his silence on the whole Tyson Fury saga. As fans know, the fight between the two, which would have had all four world titles on the line, ultimately collapsed, with many fingers pointing at Fury as the reason why.
Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk gave his side of what went on with his recent futile attempts at negotiating a fight with WBC champion Tyson Fury for April 29th.
Team-Usyk Waiting On Daniel Dubois
While it’s entirely possible WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk will fight his WBA mandatory, Daniel Dubois next, Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk says a fight with Joe Joyce is the toughest fight out there for his man.
Tim Bradley says WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has become a “diva” only concerned with making money and that he “ducked” the fight against IBF, WBA & WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk that they’d been trying to negotiate for April 29th.
Understandably, all members of Team-Usyk are pretty annoyed right now, this due to the big, we were initially told easy to make unification fight with Tyson Fury falling apart.
Now that the whole tedious, it-should-have-been-an-easy-fight-to-make, Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk saga is over with (for now, perhaps for good), it’s time for Usyk – the man who carried himself as the real champion these past few months – to move on with his career.
Promoter Frank Warren isn’t sure what Tyson Fury’s next move is after his negotiations with unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk failed to produce a fight for April 29th.
