Tyson Fury has hit back at Oleksandr Usyk's promoter Alex Krassyuk after the Ukrainian called for him to be stripped of his world heavyweight title for facing Francis Ngannou.
Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, possesses the one belt that Usyk currently lacks. Earlier this year, discussions were underway for an undisputed showdown between the two, but an agreement couldn't be reached. As a result, Usyk was compelled to defend against his WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.
In an Instagram story, Fury offered a cheeky response to the critics, saying, "Hey guys, little bit of clarification. I hear there's a lot of unknown, irrelevant people talking about how I should be stripped of my belt. Ha ha ha! Don't hate the player, hate the game. I don't have a mandatory."
