Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has told the Saudis to show them the money.
Warren is in talks with the Saudis to stage Fury’s clash with Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed world heavyweight title in Riyadh and he says they are going to have to pay big. The Saudi Sports Ministry paid £66million for Usyk’s win over Anthony Joshua in Jeddah on Saturday and Warren says this fight is much bigger.
“We’ve had preliminary discussions a couple of months ago and the challenge is going to be meeting the financial expectations of both guys,” he said.“It’s going to be all about money. At the end of the day, it’s going to be about making it worthwhile for the guys.
