Tyson Fury has demanded that an undisputed heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk can only take place at Wembley Stadium.
Fury was expected to meet Usyk at the end of April but the two parties failed to reach an agreement for the undisputed fight. They have recently been tipped to meet in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year in a monumental card that would likely be headlined by Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder.
Fury's latest demand has now poured cold water on those talks as he hit out at Usyk's manager Alex Krassyuk on Instagram by writing: "This is a b****. Both you and the rabbit are b****es. Come get your 30 percent, as from today the fight only happens in the UK at Wembley. Take it or leave it, p****."
Krassyuk was quick to respond to Fury by telling the Brit that he lost his chance to fight Usyk, replying: "Sweetheart, you lost your chance, your fans and your dignity. Now everyone who knows the real DOSSER is. Enjoy your karma greedy belly and don't forget to pay off the debts. Your promoter will remind you one."

The Gypsy King hit out at his rival in lengthy rant on Thursday, stating: "Can't wait to KO this little rat b*****d. Cowardly, yellow, ugly, bogeyed bum! Keep running rabbit and I have heard nothing from your team. I'm ready anytime."
The Brit continued his rant in an update about his future: "I’ve tried to fight that little midget Usyk, and he’s not wanting anything; I’ve tried to fight AJ [Anthony Joshua], he don’t want no smoke. I’ve tried to fight everybody. Who’s out there? Who’s available? I’m looking to fight anybody, any time, any place. I cannot wait to fight Usyk, AJ. Whoever’s out there, I’m f***ing you up.”
Fury blamed Usyk for the collapse of their fight and insisted it was not his wrongdoing, but the Ukrainian later suggested he was unhappy with terms that were publicly proposed by his rival, which included the removal of a rematch clause. Usyk has since been linked to defend his belts against Wilder if mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois withdraws due to injury.
Having recently been linked to fights against Zhilei Zhang and Andy Ruiz Jr for the summer, Fury has vented his frustration at being unable to find a fight. 'The Gypsy King' hit out at his promoter Bob Arum in an Instagram story that read: "I want you [Arum] to get me that fight I'm due or give me my contract back."
