"This is a scam." Hunter commented on Fury's withdrawal from the fight against Usik

American heavyweight Michael Hunter believes that the WBC world champion in his division Tyson Fury specifically withdrew from the fight against the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts Alexandra Usika.

"I am not surprised. I have said in many interviews that it is difficult for me to imagine how Tyson will enter the ring with Usyk. Alexander is a worthy warrior. I think it will take a little more money to get Fury into the ring. He needs to be in a better situation because Fury will look bad against Usyk. How is he supposed to win? He needs to win in a dominant manner. Usik is a durable fighter and I think styles make fights. Fury knows this. And then it happened.

I watched a video of the sparring where Fury got cut. I think this is all a scam. Fury has been doing this for a long time. Since Tyson started doing this, he has been banned in England and the USA. Do you understand what I'm talking about? I think all of this is catching up to him.

It is very sad that he was able to deceive the Saudis into wasting their time and money. I find it very easy to see. It’s not rocket science,” Hunter said in an interview with YouTube channel Boxing Social.

Let us remember that the fight between Usik and Fury was canceled due to the cut that Tyson received during sparring with Agron Smakichi.
