I missed a bit of what he says towards the end. He doesn't have to and probably shouldn't but fair play to Usyk willing to take the short end of the stick like the road warrior he is. One of the last of a dying breed.
Did Usyk say he wants Fury to donate a million for every day he delays?
I think he said 1 percent from your purse

£1m donation post fight. And 1% off the 70% for every day he delays signing up to the 70/30 deal.

Tbh Usyk has gave Fury an opportunity to look good in all this, he gets the deal he wanted and donated to Ukraine, Fury could've played a blinder, not sure it was intentional mind

Not happy.
Frantically ringing his team on how he can get out of it.

Had another listen and I think it is this:
"Hey, greedy belly. I accept your offer. 70/30 split to fight you on April 29th at Wembley but you must accept to donate to Ukraine after the fight £1 million. For every day that you delay you will pay one percent from your purse to Ukrainian people."

Think it was 1 million and 1 percent for each day

Gentleman it looks like in the last hour of the last day basically we finally have the Undisputed fight agreed upon :box: Usyk wants the fight bad, and Fury gots the money he wanted. April 29th 2033.



:TU: The first Undisputed fight since Lennox Lewis, and the first Undisputed fight of the four belt era. It should have been the biggest fight of all time monetarily but unfortunately it's not going to be for whatever reason but at least thank Jesus it's finally happening.

In an instagram post earlier Fury had Greg Lockhart with him for no apparent reason. He normally only turns up in camp.

I'm starting to think maybe all of this dragging it out to the last possible day is a promotional tactic from Tyson Fury acting like a bad guy wrestler because he knows everybody loves Usyk and since the Ukrainian can't speak good English Tyson Fury has to bring some sort of heat to the event.

Yep. Greedy-Belly has got no class and makes himself even more unlikeable.

He is clearly agitated by Usyk .. the meltdown is coming

We will see
Usyk is not a bad boxer with a huge shovel (Wilder)

He’s a master boxer

Closer by the day

Is the fugazi by Fury becoming more of a hindrance to his plans?

More interesting by the minute

Depends. If Tyson didn't want the fight then he's won. If Tyson really did just want the % then no. It wont matter IF they fight.

To recap, Usyk's giving up height, weight and reach, has 3 of the 4 belts, is undefeated, is highly respected and well-liked, and he's willing to go on the road for 30%.

He might not have the physical attributes to beat Fury, but he's really underscoring the rare character he's shown throughout his career with these actions. Win, lose or draw he's on course to go down as a great.

About level with Holyfield if he beats Fury?

Usyk might be the most likeable fighter of the modern era. I haven't seen anyone who doesn't like him.
