Tyson Fury has been told by Oleksandr Usyk's promoter he must accept a 50-50 split for their undisputed heavyweight world title fight.
The heavyweight champions are set to compete with for all the marbles this spring, with April 29 the working date for their title clash. Fury and Usyl came face-to-face at the Brit's one-sided win against Derek Chisora last December to promote their showdown, which has already been delayed once from last year as Usyk opted to take a break from the ring.
Usyk has held three heavyweight belts since winning the titles against Anthony Joshua in September 2021, defending them against 'AJ' in their rematch last August. The Ukrainian's promoter Alex Krassyuk has refused to reveal specifics of their negotiations with Fury's team but insists both fighters must share 50 per cent of the revenue split each.
