Oleksandr Usyk's promotor Alex Krassyuk highlighted the difficulty of negotiating with Tyson Fury's team after the heavyweight super fight fell through.
The Ukrainian had agreed to a 70/30 split, despite also being a champion, as he wanted to compete in a unification bout on April 29th.
However, this morning it has been revealed that the fight has fallen through due to the unreasonable nature of negotiations.

Usyk's promoter Krassyuk claimed Fury wanted the fight to be called off with the amount of "obstacles in front of the deal."
“It went too far. After Usyk accepted 70/30, Fury started to think he can put a saddle on his neck and start riding Usyk," Krassyuk told TalkSPORT.
"He tries to avoid it by putting so many obstacles in front of the deal.”
The WBA had extended their deadline until April to reach a deal on Fury v Usyk, failing which they would have ordered Usyk's subsequent mandatory title defence.
While Fury holds the WBC and Ring Magazine straps, the Ukrainian is the current WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight champion.
It indicates that the eagerly anticipated heavyweight showdown between the unbeaten competitors won't take place.
For the time being, Lennox Lewis will continue to be the last fighter to simultaneously hold all of the belts.
