The Heavyweight division is set to witness one of its biggest fights in recent years. WBC Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, is in talks to have an undisputed showdown against the unified Heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk. More than the fight itself, it was the drama revolving around the fight, that caught the eyes of fans. Fury has been constantly taking swipes at Usyk ever since the match was announced. And has also drawn the ire of fans in that process. Meanwhile, it looks like the unified Welterweight champion, Errol Spence Jr, was not too happy with Fury’s antics.

In a video, Fury spoke about upping the ante for the fight. He said, “Here’s one to up the ante. How about there is no f*cking rematch clause for both of us? Let’s up the ante completely. Never worry about what’s in the future. Or how many more dollars you can get after you’ve been defeated. Worry about the fight.”
