“Boxing Is Back”: Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury News Sends Fans Into a Frenzy

Oleksandr Usyk, now, does not have to defend his WBA title against Daniel Dubois in the ring. Instead, he will prepare for an undisputed heavyweight championship fight against Tyson Fury. The Ukrainian has agreed to fight “greedy belly” Fury on a 70/30 split on the condition that the latter donates $1 million to Ukraine in terms of relief.

Mike Coppinger from ESPN reported WBA President Gilberto Mendoza‘s statement in which the latter informed of a potential bout on April 29 at London’s Wembley Stadium between Usyk and Fury. After Fury, on Friday, offered his “take it or you leave it” deal, Usyk replied by saying, “Hey greedy belly, I accept your offer, 70/30 split to fight on April 29 at Wembley”.

Following the “greedy belly” deal, fans are enlivened to witness Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk

Following the breakout of the news, ‘TalkSport’ correspondent Michael Benson shared the same via tweet. Since Fury announced his return following the second match between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, boxing fans were excited to see the two heavyweights share the glorious ring. While Fury made his return against Derek Chisora in a trilogy, Usyk was asked to defend his title against Dubois in a fight that was mandatory. However, now that Usyk and ‘The Gypsy King’ look to close in on a deal, fans cannot wait to see Fury vs. Usyk. Looks like promoter Frank Warren now does not have to move on from ‘The Cat’ vs. ‘The Gypsy King’.

A user by the name of Unified Champion feels that even though Usyk vs. Dubois was a better matchup, it is good that we are getting an undisputed bout between Usyk and Fury. They were excited that “for the first time in 10 years, the belts will be aligned with the best of the division” in boxing.

Meanwhile, KronkStlyeKO offered respect to Usyk.

However, JohnnyUtd believes they “won’t be shocked at all” if Fury weaseled out and ducked Usyk.

Now that fans have the opportunity to watch Fury vs. Usyk among other blockbuster fights in boxing, Jay wrote “Boxing is back” while quoting Meek Mill.
