Then, on Monday, Fury called on Usyk to go without a rematch clause, before the latter accused Fury’s team of suggesting the clause in the first place. Fury had said, “Usyk’s people have been talking about rematch clauses and all that b******s,” but Usyk responded in a social-media video: “Greedy belly, the rematch clause came from your side, not mine. “We don’t trust him, we don’t believe him.” Tyson Fury called on Oleksandr Usyk to go without a rematch clause Fury, 34, holds the WBC heavyweight title, while 36-year-old Usyk is WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO champion.
