Oleksandr Usyk’s assistant coach Sergey Lapin has accused Tyson Fury of avoiding a fight with the unbeaten Ukrainian, following last week’s announcement that the Briton will fight compatriot Derek Chisora next.
After Fury retained the WBC heavyweight title in April and Usyk retained the other major belts in the division in August, it seemed that the pair would face one another next to crown an undisputed champion.
