Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have verbally agreed to fight at Wembley on April 29.
Earlier on Friday, Usyk has told Fury he would accept his terms for the undisputed heavyweight title fight provided the Briton agrees to one special condition. The much-anticipated showdown appeared to be in jeopardy after Fury, who turned down a previous date in Saudi Arabia, demanded 70 per cent of the total purse for the revised London date.
But Usyk posted a brief message on his social media on Friday in which he said he would accept Fury’s terms provided he makes a £1million donation to those affected by the war in Ukraine. Usyk said: “Hey, greedy belly. I accept your offer – 70-30 split the fight with you on April 29 at Wembley. But you will promise to donate to Ukraine immediately after the fight, £1million. And for every day of your delay you will pay one per cent from your purse to Ukrainian people. Deal?”
