Tyson Fury reiterates £500million demand for Oleksandr Usyk undisputed fight

Tyson Fury has double d down on his £500million demand for an undisputed heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

WBC champion Fury, 34, retired from boxing after knocking out Dillian Whyte in April but has stated he would return for an undisputed clash against Usyk. The Ukrainian made the first defence of his unified titles last weekend by outpointing Anthony Joshua in their rematch. Usyk won the belts last September when he outclassed Joshua in London.

'The Gypsy King' has until Friday to make a decision over his future but is now ready to negotiate a clash with Usyk, who also said that he would retire if the Brit is not willing to accept the fight. Fury addressed the undisputed fight in a recent Instagram story, writing: "The world's biggest fight has to be the world's biggest money. If I'm to put it all on the line vs some unknown foreigner. Boys better get that half billy, if not keep the little mug. If it was AJ it would have been free but it's not, only power in the waters."
