Promoter Eddie Hearn harshly criticized the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) for his big financial appetites before the fight with the owner of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF belts Alexander Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).
“I’ll tell you what. Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk – no f*cking problems. There were no questions, no long negotiations. It is my duty – I will fight him.
When will you understand? Fury says it’s not about the money and would fight for free if tickets were free. Shut up! You want money, too much money. This is greed. If the heritage of boxing is important to you, if you want to be the absolute champion, then you will accept the fight. Yes, you will get £50m or £60m instead of the £80m, £100m or £125m you want.
You’ve all been bred all these years,” Hearn said.
