Talks to stage the undisputed world heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have failed to reach a conclusion; Usyk team on how the negotiations collapsed:"We're thirsty to make it happen. We're going to use each and every effort. But I don't believe it's possible"The Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk fight is now off.
"I would love to see this fight. I would love to make it happen as the promoter. Usyk would love to be part of such a huge fight, we all are willing, we are thirsty to make it happen. Of course we are going to use each and every effort, if there is any. But from my perspective I don't believe it's possible."and his team genuinely wanted the fight in April.
But Krassyuk responded that the issue around a rematch clause was just the final straw for those talks to collapse. Fury, who first became a unified world champion when he sensationally defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, never lost those titles in the ring but they became vacant when he did not box for more than two years.He made a remarkable return in 2018 and controversially drew with Deontay Wilder that year. Fury then beat Wilder in the rematch to win the WBC title and triumphed again in a sensational 2021 trilogy fight.
After Fury beat Chisora in his last fight, he faced off with Usyk in the ring and their teams conducted intensive negotiations for a protracted period.
