Fraudster and coward: Fury's disruption of fight with Usyk was criticised online

British boxer Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) was criticised by fans after it became known that his fight with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion was cancelled. The Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is known, was accused of cowardice and the fact that he had no intention of fighting our compatriot from the start.

On the Boxing Kingdom page on Twitter social network boxing fans held a heated discussion of the news about the cancellation of the fight Usyk - Fury. The fans recalled that in the same way Tyson broke the negotiations with Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), as well as avoided a rematch with the legendary Wladimir Klitschko. For his part, the Ukrainian won in the eyes of the public even without a fight.

"Fury knew Usyk could beat him and never took the negotiations seriously", "Fury dodged the three biggest fights of his career - a rematch with Klitschko, Joshua and Usyk. He's a coward", "I don't care what Fury does next. Obviously, he did the same thing with Joshua. I'm just glad that the media opened their eyes and started criticising him.", "Finally, everyone realised that Fury is a fraud.", "Usyk conquered the boxing community and won without even a fight," wrote social media users.

Earlier, the World Boxing Association (WBA) issued an ultimatum to Usyk and Fury and named Briton Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) a mandatory challenger for the Ukrainian's championship belt. Our compatriot after disrupting the fight with Tyson decided to leave his training camp.

Prior to that, the Ukrainian's manager, Egis Klimas, had spoken harshly about Fury because he was dragging out negotiations. Oleksandr himself also made a statement about the fight, noting that the ball is now on Tyson's side. For his part, the British coach Sugar Hill Stewart talked about his ward's plan for the fight.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, promoter of Usik Oleksandr Krasiuk revealed details of negotiations with Tyson Fury and the reason for the cancellation of the historic superfight.
