Egsis Klimas, the manager of Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), criticized Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) for a series of videos in which he insulted leading heavyweights, accusing them of being cowardly and avoiding a fight with him.
“Dude, before you mention Usyk's name next time, ask your team, your promoters and managers - they agreed to all the conditions [of the fight] and it looks like you are stopping them from starting. Talking and screaming mean nothing," wrote Klimas.
The duel mentioned by Klimas is the duel between Usyk and Fury for the title of undisputed champion. This fight could happen in the coming months if earlier Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte agree to temporarily withdraw for an appropriate financial reward from fighting Usyk and Fury, respectively.
