Oleksandr Usyk has confirmed he is in negotiations with Tyson Fury over an undisputed title clash next year but claims the gypsy King is demanding £500m for the showpiece event.
Usyk beat Anthony Joshua for a second time via split decision in August to retain his WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight titles. Now the Ukrainian boxer is looking to add Fury's WBC belt to his collection.
Usyk has said he is not 'interested in fighting any other boxer' as he wants to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. However, he has said the deal could fall through because of Fury's 'crazy' demands.
