Hearn: If Fury wants half a billion, there will be no fight

Despite the fact that a preliminary date has already appeared for the unification fight for the absolute heavyweight championship between Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 23 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), Eddie Hearn doubts that the King of the Gypsies will make a final decision about the return.

How much does Fury want? Half a billion? He will not receive so much and even nothing approximate! So maybe he won’t accept this fight at all, I’m not sure if he will accept it at all,” the head of Matchroom Boxing said in an interview with IFL TV.

"If Fury can keep his word, even though we already know he can't, then he'll say, 'Half a billion or I won't fight.' In that case, he won't fight because he won't get that kind of money," Hearn added.

Initially, information appeared that the confrontation between Fury and Usyk could take place in December, but recently the dates of February 11 or 18 were announced in this context.
