Tyson Fury has made an offer to Oleksandr Usyk, and Usyk must accept the terms, or it decreases in value every day he doesn’t accept.
The teams of the heavyweight champions have been in discussions for weeks trying to secure an undisputed title fight, but those talks still haven't secured a definitive date.
Both men have declared their interest in the fight, and they even came face to face following Fury’s win over Derek Chisora last December.
Usyk is seeking a fair split considering his position as unified champion, but Fury’s popularity is what makes him believe he deserves the bigger share. Fury has now thrown down an ultimatum to Usyk on social media.
“I see all this talk of boxing fights. They want 50%. Usyk and all this, Tyson’s being greedy,” said Fury on a recent Instagram story.
“Where I’m standing, Usyk, you and your team are worth 30%. You either take it or your leave it, and if you don’t want it, go and fight Daniel Dubois at the Copper Box and get a few million dollars.
“You want to make some real money? Come and fight the Gypsy King, but I will say, for every day from today that you linger and mess around, I’m going to deduct 1% from the 30% until you take it, and if you don’t take it, fight Dubois for two million dollars.”
