Oleksandr Usyk has admitted he is "very happy" his fight with Tyson Fury collapsed as it meant has been able to return home to Ukraine.
Usyk looked set to face the 'Gypsy King' in a clash for all the marbles at heavyweight but after extensive negotiations, the fight collapsed with the Ukrainian left unhappy after the Briton's repetitive demands. Fans appeared to side with the unified champion which saw Fury take the blame with many suggesting his 70/30 purse split and no rematch clause suggestions were unreasonable.
Both men must now wait for a shot at becoming the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, with Usyk now set to face Daniel Dubois after the fight was ordered by the WBA. And in a new admission, Usyk has suggested that he was given a chance by God to return to his children after a tough period preparing for the event.
