Senchenko about the Usyk-Fury fight: “It was only possible to persuade Tyson with a pleasant fee”

Former WBA world welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko shared his opinion on the announcement of the fight for the status of absolute world champion in heavyweight between Alexander Usik (20-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (33 −0-1, 24 KOs).

“I was confident that this fight would take place, because this is an interesting fight for the audience, and for the boxers themselves. The fighters will have a chance to become absolute - and this is a good motivation to get into the ring. So I was confident that it was only a matter of time. I think the fight can take place, if not this year, then at the beginning of next year.

I think representatives of Saudi Arabia, with whom Usik recently signed a cooperation contract, were included in the negotiations. This was the main factor. Tyson could only be persuaded with a pleasant fee. Therefore, I think he is satisfied with the amount that he will receive after, and this was the main reason that he agreed,” Senchenko said.
