How Usyk and Fury will share the prize fund? Warren has the answer.

The unified heavyweight champion Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and the owner of the WBC title missing to the complete collection of the British Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) will meet in a head-to-head fight in order to determine the absolute, and the prize fund will be divided fair – in the ratio of 50/50.

Talks about it favorite promoter (according to bookmakers) Frank Warren (queensberry promotions): “We had preliminary talks with Usyk’s side before his rematch with Anthony Joshua. This was about 3-4 weeks ago. So we know there won’t be any problems. We will agree. Another positive thing is that there will be absolutely no problems with television disputes, since (Usyk) is not bound by a contract with any TV channel.

“About the distribution of the prize fund,” continues Warren. – Everything is simple here: it will be in the ratio of 50/50. This fight is easier to make than the fight with Joshua, because in this case there will be no competitive promoter. Usyk’s team and the fighter himself are free agents. There will be no problems with them. The question is whether the contract will include a clause on revenge. This is the moment I don’t know. Probably, it all depends on the wishes of the parties. For now, I’m focused on negotiations. We are interested in this fight being the next one. It’s this one.”

Earlier, Warren named two problems of the Ukrainian in the heavyweight, and also responded to rumors that Fury would offer Joshua a fight.
