Frank Warren, in an interview with IFL TV, strongly denied the words of Eddie Hearn, who said the day before yesterday that Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) turned down an offer to fight in December in Saudi Arabia with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), and instead chose to fight with Francis Ngannou (0-0, 0 KOs).
"It's a lie! There was no offer. Hearn is a liar. If someone shows me such an offer, I will donate a million pounds to help Ukraine. Someone show me what offer Tyson turned down!” - said the head of Queensberry Promotions.
Fury's boxing match with former UFC champion Ngannou will take place on October 28. The WBC heavyweight title will not be at stake.
