Despite all the propositions and agreements, in a sad announcement, the potential bout between Oleksandr Usky and Tyson Fury set for April 29th at Wembley has unfortunately collapsed as per Steve Kim. Recently, the Ukrainian boxer, exciting the community of boxing, agreed to Tyson Fury’s “greedy-belly” 70/30 split. In the meantime, it was also reported that Fury started filming a promo for his fight against Usyk. However, the ship ultimately sunk for Fury and Usyk.
While Teddy Atlas believed Usyk would be Fury’s last fight in pro boxing, ESPN has informed that “talks have collapsed for the undisputed heavyweight championship bout planned for April 29 at London’s Wembley”. The news has left boxing fans utterly disappointed as a significant part of them strongly believed in witnessing Fury vs. Usyk.
Shocking! The boxing world struggles to digest the cancellation of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk

ESPN Ringside broke the news via a tweet. In a disappointing declaration, they stated, “Sources from the camps of both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk tell @MikeCoppinger that talks have collapsed for the undisputed heavyweight championship bout planned for April 29 at London’s Wembley Stadium and that Usyk has left training camp. First reported by Steve Kim“.
Following the breakout of the news, a user named @_ydksab said that Fury is probably looking for a 4th fight with the aged Derek Chisora in the ring. They called Fury an “absolute fraud of a fighter” and spoke about him retiring.
Fury would rather have the 4th fight with chisora, absolute fraud of a fighter, he should retire.

Meanwhile, @KhojoUnreal explained how they had lost all respect for Tyson Fury.
Lost all respect I had for him if it’s possible let’s see Aj Wilder or usyk Wilder at least Wilder isn’t a coward he will fight every opponent. It’s obvious the weight imbalance between him and fury made it impossible for him to win . I hope we get usyk Wilder then
