Follow usEddie Hearn claims Tyson Fury is asking “too much money” in negotiations for a heavyweight unification match against Alexander Usyk. An undisputed title fight between the Briton and the Ukrainian has been touted for many months нов, but there is still no official confirmation of the clash.
Fellow promoter Frank Warren suggested this week that the fees might not be enough to tempt the Gypsy King and Hearn has now set his sights on Fury.
“I’ll tell you this. Anthony Joshua fought Usyk without any problems. No questions, no long negotiations. He said this is my duty, I will fight him. Everyone said to divert Usyk. They said he’s a tough fight, you don’t want to fight him. But AJ said no,” Hearn commented on IFL TV.

“Fury wants money. He wants too much money. Fury, you’re not as attractive as you think you are. This fight is not as big as you think,” Hearn added.
