Tyson Fury rejected 60/40 deal to fight Oleksandr Usyk, says Ukrainian's promoter
However, time is running out to reach a deal which has been complicated by the fact initial plans to stage the fight for an exorbitant site fee in Saudi Arabia fell through.Krassyuk joined White and Jordan on talkSPORT on Tuesday to give his side of the story.“Frank Warren said he’s got a pot and he needs to get the agreement of both parties to participate, and if the money in the pot is not enough it won’t happen,” Krassyuk began.
“But boxing is a sport of two men and if only Usyk gets into the ring, there won’t be a match for undisputed. It will be shadowboxing of the unified champion.“What can I say? We are open, we are ready to go, maybe someone wants to avoid the danger and to stay in a comfortable position. I don’t know and I really don’t care.Krassyuk went to explain the latest in negotiations for the purse split.“We initially agreed for 50/50,” he continued, “But then Tyson was asking for some bigger money.
The Ukrainian is now seemingly doubtful of the Gypsy King’s intentions, but insisted he remains optimistic.“I am experienced and I’ve been here for a while,” Krassyuk said as he began to conclude the interview.“Normally when a fighter does not want to take a fight, he asks for something impossible so it doesn’t take place.“Maybe Tyson is not ready yet. Maybe he’s is not ready mentally, maybe he’s not ready physically, whatever, I don’t know and we don’t really care.
