Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said last week that if the two camps did not sign the contract before March 12, it would be difficult to get the fight done on April 29. March 12 has come and gone but the two fighters continue to tease fans on social media as they publically negotiate the terms of their contract via Instagram!

Fury Offers Usyk A 70/30 Fight Purse

Oleksandr Usyk’s camp were earlier pushing for a 50/50 fight purse on the basis that Usyk holds 3 belts while Fury holds just one. However, the Gypsy King is clearly the A side in this fight and were not willing to do a 50/50 split.

Fury who has 5.8 million followers on Instagram told Usyk that they were willing to offer him a fight purse that had a 70/30 split and this was a onetime offer only! Fury told Usyk that if he wanted to fight on April 29 in Wembley Stadium, he had to accept these conditions as final.

Usyk who is from Ukraine has 1.8 million followers on Instagram responded to Fury’s offer and said he accepted it on one condition. Usyk has asked Fury to donate 1 million pounds to his countrymen in Ukraine who were battling poverty. Usyk said for every day that Fury delays to transfer the 1 million founds, he wanted 1 percent of his fight purse to be added to the transfer.

Fury and Usyk Argue About Rematch Clause

Fury responded via another Instagram video and called Usyk out for wanting a rematch clause inserted in the contract. Fury claims Usyk wants the rematch clause because he knows he will lose the fight and wants to protect himself to have another payday. Fury asked Usyk to forget the rematch clause and just done a one and done fight deal!

Usyk responded by calling Fury a liar saying that his camp had no demands for a rematch clause. We should get a better picture by the end of this week, if this mega boxing fight will materialize on April 29 or fall through!
