The manager of British heavyweight Joe Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs) Sam Jones called the statement of Oleksandr Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) promoter Oleksandr Krasyuk about the distribution of royalties 93 to 7 in favor of the Ukrainian as meaningless.
“We understand that Usyk has only one contractual fight with Alexander Krasyuk, and therefore he is trying to bring this fight into a promotional bidding with Eddie Hearn in order to remain a participant in the process.
"Regarding the distribution of the royalties in the proportion of 93-7, this is ridiculous. We highly respect the WBO as one of the fairest organizations. We are confident that they will offer a fair and proper distribution of royalties if it comes to promotional bidding," the manager said to The Sun.
