Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could split a massive £120million purse for their pencilled-in undisputed heavyweight title fight.
The duo are expected to meet in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year in a monumental heavyweight event that could also feature Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder. Fury and Usyk were in talks to fight on April 29 but their undisputed clash broke down after the two parties disagreed over a rematch clause, despite Usyk agreeing to a 70/30 purse split in Fury's favour.
Saudi Arabian promotional company Skills Challenge Entertainment are willing to put up a purse in the region of £121million for the fight, according to The Telegraph. The promotion moved a step closer to hosting the fight by adding Usyk to its roster last week. The Ukrainian has already fought under Skills Challenge before as his rematch against Joshua last August was promoted by the company.
