Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has accused Britain’s Tyson Fury of spoiling the fight for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion.
“The first time I warned, the second time I said it’s over. I see nothing is progressing, he’s trying to play with us and I said, “That’s it, bye”.
When I first warned, communication continued. There was no response from that side. I wrote to Alexander Krasyuk, Egis Klimas. In chat, I called our entire team and said: “Gentlemen, we are not going anywhere. He pulls to the end, does not want to do this, finds some excuses.
I say: “I’m already tired of playing the game by their rules. Let’s respect ourselves and just do our own thing.” Moreover, the boxer on the Kiev Cake YouTube channel said, “We should do our own thing and not follow the lead of the one who achieved it.”
Usyk last fought in Saudi Arabia on August 20, defeating the British Anthony Joshua. The Ukrainian has retained his world champion titles according to the International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Organization (WBO), International Boxing Organization (IBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA).
Fury is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) world champion.
