Frank Warren claims that Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) in recent months he has been looking for fights with the best heavyweights and it’s not his fault that in the end he didn’t get fights with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) or Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs).

“Tyson was the only one who said he could box in the UK regardless of income,” Gypsy King promoter William Hill said in an interview. - We made them offers - that's a fact! Tyson, for example, has not been offered anything over the past year."

“He told both of these guys [Usyk and Joshua] that he was ready to fight them at Wembley. We agreed to everything, made pre-orders at Wembley three times and booked the Wes Ham stadium for the fight, ”said the head of promotion Queensberry Promotions, whose ward will eventually face former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on October 28.
