Boxing fans angry at record TV price for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk

Boxing fans are outraged after promoter Frank Warren let slip that the Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk undisputed heavyweight title fight will cost a record amount on pay-per-view.

The heavyweight division hasn't had an undisputed champion in the four-belt era and it's been over two decades since Lennox Lewis held all the gold. However, it appears that a deal is about to be struck between Fury and Usyk to set up one of the biggest fights in the sport for early next year.

There will be massive money on the line for the event, which is likely to land somewhere in the Middle East despite rumblings of a potential Wembley Stadium date. However, the monstrous payouts along with the magnitude of the event will likely mean that the price is pumped up, beyond the £27.95 that it cost for Fury's last outing against Derek Chisora.
