Tyson Fury's dad blames promoters for Oleksandr Usyk fight collapse in furious rant

John Fury has heaped blame on the promoters for the collapse of Tyson Fury's undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

WBC champion Fury was set to step in the ring with unified king Usyk on April 29 at Wembley Stadium with public terms agreed for a heavyweight clash for all the marbles. However after months of negotiations, the fight broke down with both men left with nothing. Usyk walked away from the negotiating table following Fury's public demands on social media.

Both sides have heaped blame on the other, with Usyk suggesting Fury's demands were unreasonable while the British star blamed his rival in a heated rant on social media. However Fury's father John believes the fighters were prevented from bringing the fight to the fans after proceedings became complicated by money.
