Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and British Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) had a phone conversation before signing a contract for the fight for the title of absolute world champion.

Tyson's manager Spencer Brown told about this in an interview with Boxing King Media YouTube channel, talkSport website reports. The representative of the British champion shared the details of the negotiations between the parties and also emphasized that Fury really wants a fight against Usyk.

"Tyson was over the moon. We agreed on the financial side and other issues that people just don't see. Tyson and Usyk really talked to each other, Tyson invited him after the fight to go to Morecambe with his kids to spend the weekend. Tyson said, 'Thank you very much, I look forward to seeing you in the ring. And after it's over, I'd like you to come to Morecambe, where I live. Bring your kids, we'll spend the weekend together," Brown revealed the details of the conversation.
