Krasyuk says no negotiations on Usyk vs Joyce

Alexander Krasyuk, CEO of K2 Promotions Ukraine, in an interview with IFL TV, said that he is currently not in any negotiations with Joe Joyce's (12-0, 11 KOs) team regarding the fight for the interim WBO cruiserweight title for his ward Alexander Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs).

According to Krasyuk, it is impossible to officially begin negotiations on the "interim" title until a situation arises in which Usyk, as a contender, will be able to fight for the full-weight belt currently owned by Anthony Joshua (24 -1, 22 KOs). Circumstances will only change when Joshua vs. Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) is officially announced.

In addition, Krasyuk said that he was awaiting the WBO's decision on the distribution of the total amount of the purse in the event of a possible competition for promotional applications for Usik vs Joyce should be 80 to 20 in favor of the Ukrainian.
