Alex Krassyuk, the manager for the Ukrainian, has opened up about the deal between the two boxers. Usyk has agreed to a 70/30 purse split for the fight against Fury. This split came as a shock to the boxing world due to the drastic disparity in the percentage being shared.
In an interview with SkySports, Krassyuk discussed their demands if the ‘Gypsy’ King changes the fight date. Krassyuk said that they’ve accepted the conditions for April 29th. And, if the date is to be changed, Usyk will demand a 50/50 purse split from the fight. Krassyuk has been critical of Fury from the very beginning, and it is safe to say that he still believes that Fury will provide a reason to pull out from the fight.
