Tyson Fury's promoter reveals Oleksandr Usyk messages to defend fight collapse

Tyson Fury's promoter has revealed emails from Alex Krassyuk which led to the cancellation of his undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury looked set to face fellow heavyweight champion Usyk looked in a meteoric clash on April 29 after months of negotiations, but the fight has now been cancelled after talks between the two teams broke down. Fury demanded a 70/30 purse split in his favour, which Usyk accepted, before also suggesting neither fighter was granted a rematch clause.

Frank Warren, who represents Fury, detailed emails from Usyk's promoter Krassyuk in which he put an end to negotiations for the undisputed fight. Krassyuk was respectful in the emails and also admitted that Warren did everything in his power to make the undisputed fight for the end of April.
