Eddie Hearn has dared Tyson Fury not to fight Oleksandr Usyk as he is extremely unlikely to receive his £500million demand.
The 'Gypsy King' vowed to retire from the sport after defeating Dillian Whyte back in April, but has now made a U-turn and confirmed his intentions to face Usyk after his rematch victory against Anthony Joshua. Prior to his U-turn, Fury had backtracked from plans to hang up his gloves by claiming he would re-enter the ring for a groundbreaking £500million purse.
Fury has since reiterated his stance on a £500m purse and believes promoters will need to dig deep financially to put on the event. He told talkSPORT : “It’s some foreigner who nobody really cares about. To fight this unknown entity and give him an opportunity of legendary status? They have to pay for that.
