Via Matt Lieberman: Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk is likely to arrive at Wembley Stadium in London at the end of April.
Gareth A. Davies says it looks like the undisputed heavyweight title fight between Fury-Usyk will take place at Wembley Stadium.
That’s good news for UK fans as they will have the opportunity to watch Fury vs Usyk live without having to pay a lot of money to go to Saudi Arabia to watch it live.
Obviously, the offer they received to host the fight in Saudi Arabia was not a necessity to host there, so it could be headed to Wembley unless Saudi Arabia softens the deal. .
You could argue that WBC champ Fury’s bout with IBF, WBA & WBC heavyweight champion Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) wasn’t a big enough fight for the Saudis to want to pay a page fee. giant web to bring it there. . If Anthony Joshua is the one to fight Fury, it’s entirely possible that this will interest the Saudis
“Let’s announce this war. We think it will be in Saudi Arabia. I know that Wembley Stadium is an option for the end of April, as well as Saudi Arabia,” Gareth A. Davies told boxing society about the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. “They will get through this unless they argue about money and no.
“I think it’s a 50-50 fight in terms of payoffs, but people would argue that Tyson Fury draws the crowd. But Oleksandr Usyk has three belts and he’s had them for two years. I think he deserves him. 55-45 is possible, but 60-40 is a bit unfair.
“Obviously, what I do know is that both men are doing their own negotiations with the Saudis for their own deal. They did it separately. But it looks like it’s headed to Wembley Stadium. It will be absolutely amazing,” said Gareth.
“It looks like Wembley. That’s the right place for a fight right now.” Davies said to iFL TV in the Fury-Usyk match. “Look, Beterbiev is here to protect his belt. What’s wrong with fierce fighting at Wembley Stadium?
“I believe that date is the end of April, and perhaps Fury is looking at another split as it will take place here in the UK. Yes, Fury contradicts himself about money. I’ve done interviews with him before where he said that money doesn’t interest him and that he’ll fight Anthony Joshua for free, but that’s just talk.
“Of course, he won’t fight for free, but it will still be a big fight. I think it should be split 50-50 in my book. Oh, I suspect so. Why not?” Gareth said when asked if the split should still be 50-50, even if the match were to take place at Wembley Stadium.
“They may have that argument. It’s between the lawyers and the negotiators, the promoters and the fighters themselves,” Gareth said of Fury being able to demand a larger cut if the fight takes place at Wembley Stadium due to he is the one with the advantage.
“I think it should be 50-50. Usyk is carrying three belts. He won them two years ago. He protected them a year ago. He brings so much to the event. He is a London Olympic gold medalist. Look, Fury can draw a big crowd, but so can Usyk.
“Those are two men in this fight. It’s the undisputed title. Tyson, I don’t believe, as he said, to be motivated by money. Yes, of course, he’s drawing a big crowd, but with Usyk holding three belts, 50-50 or 55-45, but 60-40, I don’t think that’s fair.
“Let’s hope that money doesn’t stand in the way of this fight now. Let’s have an announcement about this war very soon. We’ve been waiting too long in the weight class for the past 18 months. Let’s get through this war. Hopefully, we’ll hear this week.
“Bob Arum is in town, and hopefully Tyson will be there at some point, maybe Saturday night. Frank Warren is around, and Geeorge Warren is around.
“Let’s go beyond the limit. It will be interesting to see if it slides out of Saudi and they don’t get the offers they want, and they come here. As far as I know that’s good news,” said Gareth.
