Tyson Fury leaks Oleksandr Usyk's fight purse after undisputed fight talks broke down

Tyson Fury has claimed Oleksandr Usyk was due to make £13million to fight for undisputed heavyweight gold at Wembley Stadium on the pair's doomed April date.

This year, the pair had seemingly agreed to a set of terms for the first undisputed heavyweight title bout of the four-belt era earlier this year, with April 29 the touted day it would take place. However, they couldn't come to grips with a rematch clause, and opted not to make the event happen.

Terms for the bout were heavily favoured towards Fury, with the argument being from the Brit that his team were hosting the bout, and that he is far and away the bigger star of the two, despite only holding one belt to Usyk's three. And he has now mocked his rival for taking just £6m to face Daniel Dubois in a mandatory challenge for his WBA title.
