Eddie Hearn noted the specifics of the financial issue.
Head of Matchroom Boxing promotion Eddie Hearn shared his opinion on why WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and WBA, WBO and IBF title holder Oleksandr Usyk will not fight in Saudi Arabia.
According to the functionary, the fight will not take place in the Middle East, because the individuals concerned are not ready to pay the requested cost to the boxers.
“The fight won’t take place in Saudi Arabia because it doesn’t involve Anthony Joshua. The Fury-Usyk fight isn’t big enough. It’s not big enough for Fury to get the amount he wants because it doesn’t involve Joshua.”
