“That’s Not Down to Tyson”: After the ‘Take It or Leave It’ Call Out, Tyson Fury’s Manager Shifts the Blame to Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are about to give us one of the most anticipated fights. The boxing world has awaited a clash between these two Heavyweight champions but unfortunately, their negotiations never reached an amicable end and fell out between both sides. During the negotiations, many fingers were pointed at Fury for being the reason behind this undisputed fight never coming to fruition.

Many fans believed that ‘The Gypsy King’ was hindering the finalization of the match. His promoter Frank Warren gave the fans a different side to the talk that occurred.

In a recent interview, Warren opened up about some other intricacies of the fight arbitrations with Usyk’s team. He shed some light on the perspective of Fury. He also addressed Usyk’s derogatory comments regarding Tommy Fury’s half-brother.

Frank Warren believes Usyk wants big “paydays”

Frank Warren recently gave a telephonic interview to talkSPORT Boxing. In the interview, Warren revealed their team’s efforts to make the fight with Usyk happen. He claimed that Tyson is not the reason the negotiations fell out and also took a jibe at the ‘The Cat.’

The 71-year-old veteran promoter talked about the message Fury sent to Usyk a few weeks back, claiming to fight without any rematch clause for him. Warren reiterated his claim that the Ukrainian is interested in receiving big paydays from his fights. Thus, he is eyeing a bout in Saudi Arabia. However, it seems like Warren wasn’t thrilled by the verbal jabs which Usyk directed towards the British boxer. It must be noted that since the failure of the fight, Usyk has moved on.
