Eddie Hearn doubles down on claim Tyson Fury rejected Oleksandr Usyk fight

Eddie Hearn has reiterated that Tyson Fury is to blame for not getting his world heavyweight unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk.

The British fighter responded by immediately triggering a rematch clause, and then travelled to America to trial new coaches in preparation after announcing his intention to part with long-time mentor Rob McCracken.
