The fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion between the current holders of all belts Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) will be – the British co-promoter Bob Arum is sure of this. And he strongly advises the promoter of the Ukrainian to stop using the media and manipulating public opinion in an attempt to knock out better conditions for his fighter.
“I like Alex [Красюк]he is a good guy and he is Ukrainian,” said Arum
ID Boxing. – I love Ukraine, but he should shut up and not negotiate through the press. He led the “negotiations” in the media. I’m not going to do business like that. I won’t even discuss the fight through the media for a bit. Negotiations should take place behind the scenes.”
Further, the seasoned promoter said that “we have a lot of people whose affairs are managed by the manager Egis Klimas.”
“He’s a great guy, very thoughtful. We can come to an understanding with him and Tyson, so I won’t talk about percentages and statements in the media. As soon as you start “negotiating” in the press, everything falls apart. Because then the ego of people comes to the fore, and this prevails over common sense. So let it stay behind the scenes,” Arum urged.

Despite all this, the functionary says that he is “very optimistic” and confident – “we will come together and hopefully announce soon.”
“Fury-Usyk will not fall apart. I hope we can do this fight next week, and it will work, ”said Bob.
Yesterday, the promoter of the Briton shared his PPV expectations – they are cosmic. And what will happen if it’s still not Usyk? Fury named the next opponent (possible, of course).
