Deontay Wilder is ready to fight Oleksandr Usyk after his undisputed heavyweight title against Tyson Fury fell through.
Fury and Usyk were set to meet each other for all the heavyweight titles after months of negotiations finally edged towards an official agreement, but the highly-anticipated fight has now been cancelled. Fury had demanded a 70/30 purse split in his favour, which Usyk accepted, before also suggesting neither fighter is granted a rematch clause.
Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk has also revealed that Fury wasn't a fan of Usyk's proposed £1million donation from his purse to the people of Ukraine. Former WBC titleholder Wilder is now open to a meeting with Usyk after the collapse of the undisputed clash as his manager Shelly Finkel told Sky Sports : "If the Usyk fight is available, Deontay will take it in a heartbeat."
