"The fight will take place": Usyk answers questions about fight with Fury
Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) is confident that his fight with British Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) for the world heavyweight title will take place. At the same time, the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is known, was at a loss after our compatriot agreed to a disadvantageous distribution of the fee for the disrupted fight on 29 April.
Usyk said this in an interview with the Kyiv Cake YouTube channel. At the same time, he stressed that he was very happy to be in his home country, although he would have preferred to complete preparations for the fight against the World Boxing Council (WBC) championship belt holder.

"I think the fight against Tyson Fury will take place. Just not on April 29, as planned. I worked hard in the camp. Of course, I would like to be in the camp now. But I'm very happy to be home. I agreed to his terms. Because the question is not about money, but about the fight itself, about the title of absolute world champion. He didn't think I would agree to 30% of the fee. He's an unpredictable guy. He's a crazy man. He could not even think that I would agree to all his conditions," Usyk said.

Earlier, Fury's promoter Frank Warren talked about a new date for the British fighter's fight against Oleksandr Usyk. This is the first time the Ukrainian has publicly commented on the cancellation of the fight with Fury. Our compatriot decided to leave his training camp and return to Ukraine after the news of the cancellation of the fight with Tyson.
British boxer Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) spoke ironically about the cancellation of the Usyk-Fury fight. He also made a statement about the possibility of holding a third fight against the Ukrainian.
