“Whatever He Wishes He Does”: Months After Fight Debacle, Oleksandr Usyk’s Promoter Remains Brutally Honest While Talking About Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury

In a recent turn of events, Tyson Fury is set to face former UFC Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. This cross-over bout will take place on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Their match-up has left the boxing world in splits. A substantial section of the boxing world anticipated the ‘Gypsy King,’ to face Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed fight.

However, their fight did not come to fruition after the two combatants did not agree on the purse split. Subsequently, the 35-year-old decided to face, ‘The Predator,’ but this revelation was not welcomed by the boxing world at large. Moreover, Usyk’s promoter justifies and understands Fury fighting Ngannou of all the opponents out there. So let’s take a look at what he had to say about this match-up.

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter defends Fury

Uysk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has been very critical of Fury in the past. He has publicly called him out for dodging a fight against his fighter in the name of negotiations. However, Krassyuk defends Fury amidst the flak he is receiving for fighting someone who is yet to make his boxing debut. The Ukrainian promoter considers the British Heavyweight a massive superstar who has the luxury to choose his opponents.

In an interview with FightHub.tv, he stated, “Easy money. Why shouldn’t he be earning easy money if he flows in your hands? Yea, well from a boxing point of view, it might be not good but he’s the champ he’s the man to decide it’s his career.” He adds, “So whatever he wishes he does. He’s the champion, he’s the celebrity. He’s the number 1 show on Netflix.”

It bears a mention that many do not consider this fight to be unwanted and Krassyuk is one of them. Not to mention, the bout would be a spectacle in the sport. The former Heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson is supposedly training Ngannou. Let’s take a look at his opinion on this match-up.
