Oleksandr Usyk‘s acceptance of Tyson Fury‘s 70/30 offer for an undisputed heavyweight world title fight on April 29th has elicited mixed reactions from fans. Fury offered the deal to Usyk and posted it on social media, and Usyk accepted the proposal on the condition that many found surprising.

The boxer stated that he would accept the offer with the condition that Fury would have to donate £1 million to Ukraine.

The news came after the WBA stated that Usyk had to defend his unified world title against regular champion Daniel Dubois unless a deal was reached with Fury by the end of the day. However, if Usyk did not agree to the terms, Fury would still have quite a lot of options, like Andy Ruiz Jr, Deontay Wilder, and even former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

The match won’t be easy for either of them, both fighters will have to bring their A-game against each other. So much so, that even Mike Tyson gave a warning to Usyk against Fury.
