Reigning WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury listed a condition that will make a potential fight with Oleksandr Usyk possible.
Usyk holds the other three belts in the weight division, namely the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles, and a match between the two could be a unification match, with the winner coming out as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
However, Fury made it clear in a recent interview with Fight HubTV that being the undisputed heavyweight champion is not his priority, and he has former UFC champion Francis Ngannou to deal with.
Although, he would be willing to take the fight if he gets a larger percentage of the revenue that the fight will generate.
"Should the other little sausage want to fight for the undisputed, and if he's willing to take a small percentage then we might be able to make it happen. But if he wants a large bag? Not happening," the 35-year-old said.
