Vitali Klitschko explained why Fury is "twisting" Usyk's hands

The ex-heavyweight world champion, Vitaliy Klitschko, has commented on the negotiations for a fight between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and British boxer Tyson Fury for the title of absolute world champion in the super heavyweight division.

"There is a high probability that the fight will take place. If Fury refuses, he will be the world's greatest champion of cowardice. He understands that Usyk is a very uncomfortable opponent for him, and now Fury will try to find an opportunity to twist his hands and find a way out of this difficult situation. But the whole world wants to see this fight. I am sure that this match will take place."

"I cannot give a forecast for the fight. This is the super heavyweights, where a single punch can decide the outcome of a fight. Therefore, we keep our fists so that the fight takes place. We keep our fingers crossed that Oleksandr Usyk wins. I am convinced that Oleksandr has every opportunity to win, prove everything, as with Joshua and other athletes, and become the absolute champion, collect all the titles, and take the last WBC belt from Fury,” Klitschko stated.

Usyk accepted Fury's 70/30 split offer, on the condition that one million pounds be donated to Ukraine right after their fight. The fight, for the title of absolute world champion, is set for April 29th at Wembley Stadium.
