Co-promoter of WBC champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), head of Queensberry Promotions Frank Warren insists that the Briton is fully focused on the next fight with IBF / WBO / WBA champion Alexander Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) for the status of a boxer No. 1 in the heavyweight, and does not think about the fourth meeting with Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) as a “reserve”.
Yesterday there were rumors that the “Gypsy King” allegedly entered into some secret negotiations about a new confrontation with the American in case the planned confrontation with Usyk fails.
Warren denies this.
“As far as I know, I don’t know about this at all. No, absolutely. It didn’t happen, he said.
talkSPORT. As far as I understand, he [Уайлдеру] ordered to fight Andy Ruiz for mandatory challenger status.”
Be that as it may, Fury admitted that he was disappointed with the progress in his fight with Usyk. Like, he’s been gone for a week.
Usyk’s promoter flew to London today to finally make that progress.
