John Fury demands apology from Oleksandr Usyk before he can fight son Tyson

Tyson Fury's dad John has told Oleksandr Usyk he will never fight his son without making a public apology on video.

Talks of an undisputed heavyweight world title fight between Fury and Usyk broke down earlier this year despite the Ukrainian agreeing to a 70/30 purse split in Fury's favour. The two parties disagreed over a rematch clause and the fight was subsequently cancelled, but there is still hope it could take place in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year.

Fury Sr has now laid out his terms for the undisputed clash to take place, as he told Seconds Out : "That little Ukrainian rabbit doesn’t want to fight Tyson. He’s trying to kill two birds with one stone, turn the public against Tyson which they’ve done a good job of because the public’s daft anyway and think the Saudis are gonna pay him silly money. I’ve got news for you – you’re gonna wait a long time.
