The Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk saga have been a source of disappointment to many fans worldwide. The world expected the two boxers to clash in an undisputed Heavyweight title fight. But, to everybody’s bad luck, their negotiations ended abruptly. And, with all the hearsay around the fight, many people believe Fury is at fault that the fight never reached the ring.

Former two-division world champion Timothy Bradley Jr. did not hesitate to share his genuine opinion on the same. And it is safe to say that he is not thrilled regarding what happened between the two. He seemed not to be happy with the Brit and made some claims regarding the 34-year-old.

Tim Bradley Jr. on the fight not taking place

The 39-year-old Timothy Bradley Jr. is regarded as one of the most versatile boxers in the world. He retired from professional boxing in 2016, with a boxing record of 33-2-1.In a recent interview with ESPN, Bradley expressed his thoughts on who is to blame for the negotiations falling apart.

Bradley Jr. said, “Fury is the one to blame. I’m sick of the mess. I call this a legitimate duck by Fury; he’s ducking Usyk.” He further went on to claim that the real reason why Fury offered the 70/30 split was that he didn’t think that Usyk would accept it. And, he added, that the hurdles kept changing from then, and the ‘goalposts’ kept getting moved from time to time. It is difficult to say the real reason for the failure of the negotiations. But, one looks from one perspective, and it is safe to say that all fingers point toward ‘the Gypsy King’ due to his unexpected stipulations.
