Krasyuk: Fury should be stripped of title

Alexander Krasyuk in an interview with SecondsOut suggested that the WBC should consider depriving Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) heavyweight championship belt.

“I think that the belt should be taken away from him. Of course, this can only happen if he goes against the rules of the WBC, as I now understand. He made his mandatory defense against Dillian Whyte and is waiting for the next mandatory challenger, so he's not really violating WBC rules, but from a sporting point of view, purely boxing, he should leave the belt vacant because he's been inactive for so long and cheating people, announces fights that will not happen, ”said the promoter Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury, who last fought in December when he defeated Derek Chisora, is set to return in September in an exhibition bout against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
