Usyk's camp rejects Fury's trilogy offer as 'backup plan'
–
Neutral summary
Oleksandr Usyk's manager Sergey Lapin has rejected Tyson Fury's proposal for a trilogy fight, saying the Ukrainian will not serve as a 'backup plan' for the Briton. Fury publicly challenged his former rival after negotiations for a long-awaited domestic showdown with Anthony Joshua hit another obstacle. Both British heavyweights have signed individual contracts for a proposed November fight, but the camps have yet to agree on a venue: Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn are pushing for London, while New York City has emerged as an alternative. Fury accused Joshua of trying to avoid him and suggested he is now prepared to pursue another meeting with Usyk instead.
