Tyson Fury's promoter tells Saudi Arabia to pay big for Oleksandr Usyk clash

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.
