It’s safe to say Oleksandr Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas isn’t happy with Tyson Fury.
Fury and Usyk were due to collide in just two weeks time but a cut suffered by ‘The Gypsy King’ in sparring has scuppered that.
And Klimas went in on the WBC champion when speaking to The Ring, he said: “Tyson Fury is a f****** coward who will do anything not to face Usyk, and he asked his b***h to hit him with a frying pan in his brow.”

“You can quote me word for word for that. When the news was brought to Oleksandr, he just smiled. That is all he did. He is too mentally strong to break.’
A statement from Tyson Fury and his team read: ‘‘I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this fight for so long and being in such superb condition. I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed.
‘I can only apologise to everyone affected including my own team. Team usyk, the undercard fighters, partners, and fans as well as our hosts and my friends in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.’
The last undisputed heavyweight champion was crowned in 1999 when Lennox Lewis achieved the feat. Chances are that we may have to wait till the summer before any possibility of Fury and Usyk fighting for all of the belts.
