Alexander KRASYUK: “Fury is trying to squeeze as much money as possible”
Oleksandr Krasyuk, General Manager of K2 Promotions Ukraine, shared his views on the tournament, which was held with the participation of four heavyweight stars.
“We’re talking. Let’s say Joe Joyce is playing a rematch with Zhang Zhilei. It’s just talk. Let’s say Anthony Joshua fights Joe Joyce – but that’s just talk. Wilder fights Usyk – just talks, just rumors. In this tournament too like that.
Just talk, just rumors, no offers, no commitments. Therefore, it is not even planning, but the assumption of something that might happen. Of course, the level of such a boxing night will be absolutely phenomenal, something that has never happened before. This will be the top. “Thunder in the Jungle”, “Thriller in Manila” – all this will be a thing of the past after this event occurs.
But nothing is certain right now. No dates, no contracts or memoranda of understanding. Therefore, we cannot count on anything serious until it is signed on paper.
In my own opinion, according to my experience, I state that it is very easy. Dealing with AJ is not that difficult. Wilder, Shelley Finkel is a very sensible person. By the way, we contacted him for the first time in 10 years a few weeks ago and had a pretty long talk about everything we’ve been through.
I mean, he’s also a very sane person and I don’t think it would be too difficult for someone to make a deal with him. Oleksandr Usyk and his team are known to be the easiest people to work with in the boxing world. So, there is still something at stake.
This is a complex person, a complex person to play with, going back and forth, playing their game, trying to squeeze in as much money as possible. Krasyuk said that’s why Usyk called him “Hungry Belly”.

“The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC” – Tsarukyan
UFC lightweight number one Arman Tsarukyan said that he does not yet consider a potential grappling fight with the promotion’s welterweight champion Islam Makhachev to be realistic.
On Tuesday, Tsarukyan and Sharabutdin Magomedov, known by his nickname Shara Bullet, ended in a draw in a grappling bout in Yerevan.
— The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC. I don’t think anyone can afford to pay him that amount,” Red Corner MMA quotes Tsarukyan as saying.

Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:
“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”
Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.
Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.
Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.
