Oleeksandr Usyk's promoter Alexander Krassuyk has called upon Tyson Fury to lower his demands in order to make their undisputed world heavyweight championship fight happen.
Talks are ongoing, with the date and venue seemingly set for Wembley Stadium on April 29, but the fighters yet to agree on the purse split for the fight. According to the latest comments from Usyk's representative, Fury is expecting a larger share of the purse, having shared an 80:20 split which was negotiated in Fury's favour for his win against Dillian Whyte at the same venue last April.
That fight was a sell-out, with over 90,000 in attendance to watch Fury beat Whyte with a sixth round knockout, highlighting Fury's ability to sell tickets. However, Usyk's team claim that their fighter should be able to command a bigger share than is currently being pushed for, with the Ukrainian holding four world titles compared the the single belt in Fury's possession.
