The promoter of Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, Oleksandr Krasyuk, denied the information circulating in the media regarding the purse distribution for the fight with Tyson Fury.
Details. According to Krasyuk, he does not have precise information about the amount Fury will receive. "We do not have a specific purse distribution. We have certain agreements: Tyson Fury has agreements with the organizers, and Oleksandr Usyk has agreements with the organizers.
I don’t know how much money Tyson will receive. I’ve read about it on the internet, but what I read, sorry, does not correspond to reality," said Krasyuk.
Reminder. According to media reports, the total purse for the first fight was around $150 million. For the rematch, the purse will be about $191 million, and although the distribution is not disclosed, Usyk is expected to receive a larger percentage than in May — this time as the A-side.
