Tyson Fury has been told by Oleksandr Usyk's former opponent Michael Hunter that he "dodged" a fight against the Ukrainian.
Fury was expected to meet Usyk at the end of April but the undisputed heavyweight title fight collapsed after both parties failed to reach an agreement. Usyk is now expected to defend his WBA belt against mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois in August with Fury mocking the Ukrainian for seemingly taking more than a 50 per cent pay cut for the fight.
Hunter lost a unanimous decision when he challenged Usyk for his cruiserweight title in 2017 and the American has blamed Fury for the undisputed heavyweight title fight falling apart. “Tyson kind of dodged that [fight against Usyk] and he didn’t make the fight happen," he told Boxing Social.
