Tyson Fury negotiations 'at an impasse' claims Oleksandr Usyk, Gypsy King says fight will be an 'easy job'

Negotiations to fight Tyson Fury are «at an impasse», Oleksandr Usyk has claimed, while the Gypsy King says the bout has «got to happen». The pair had been expected to meet in an undisputed world heavyweight title clash last month, but talks fell through — with Fury at the time labelling Usyk a «coward» — leaving both camps now working on another deal. Ad The bout would pit the WBA, IBF, WBO and The Ring belt holder Usyk against WBC holder Fury, meaning the winner would hold all five heavyweight belts.

Speaking to Vringe, Ukrainian Usyk said: «I can’t say anything about the fight with Fury yet but at the moment the fight is not planned, since the negotiations, let’s say, are at an impasse. »For Fury, boxing is not only a sport, but also a show.

And there is another factor — money. «He talks about it all the time and voices some incredible amounts that he wants to receive for the fight. I believe that all his loud statements are the intensity of passions.

Without it, nowhere. Joshua could face 'dangerous' Whyte fight before taking on Wilder, says Hearn Joshua says Wilder 'keen' for fight in Saudi, Fury will 'leave me waiting' »So what is he afraid of? He is a professional athlete. And even if he loses, he will take his own.

«It's no secret that fees are prescribed for both parties. If he wants to draw intrigue, he has the right, but no one will run after him or make concessions. The fight will take place sooner or later.
