Simon Jordan isn't fully convinced that Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is actually off
have both made comments over the past 12 hours insisting the heavyweight showdown is off and will not take place at April 29 on Wembley Stadium.They blame Fury’s ‘list of demands’ for this collapse, though are yet to divulge exactly which straw broke the camel’s back.
Usyk previously accepted Fury’s demand for a 70/30 split in his favour for the April 29 fight, but has seemingly denied his call for them to scrap the proposed rematch clause.While the Ukrainian’s team are adamant the fight will not take place, Fury’s UK co-promoter Frank Warren is yet to speak on the matter amid reports he is still trying to salvage a miracle last-ditch deal.
“He wants the rematch clause out and there’s an argument going on about the rematch clause and the split on the rematch clause.“They cannot square the circle on the split on the rematch clause, that’s my understanding of it.“What Fury’s saying is, ‘Take the rematch clause out, forget the rematch clause.’
