Tyson Fury warned he has "snookered himself" with Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has been told he "snookered" himself after Oleksandr Usyk accepted his seemingly ambitious demands for a heavyweight showdown.

The 'Gypsy King' is expected to meet Usyk in a mega-fight for the undisputed heavyweight titles on April 29 at Wembley Stadium with the pair having negotiated for several months. It looked at several points as if the showdown would collapse, with Fury making a public demand for a 70 per cent split in his favour only for Usyk to publicly accept the offer.

With one hurdle navigated, another appeared just as quickly with Fury demanding there is no rematch clause for either fighter - something Usyk also agreed to. However Fury's promoter Frank Warren appears to have teased the fight is done after promising big news in the coming weeks, which rival promoter Eddie Hearn has been left shocked that a deal has been reached.
