Oleksandr Usyk's manager Egis Klimas has lashed out at Tyson Fury claiming the Gypsy King was at fault for the undisputed heavyweight fight falling through in response to his video calling the Ukrainian a 'p****'.
WBC champion Fury has announced he will fight mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte, suggesting fellow Brit Anthony Joshua has rejected the chance to step aside from his rematch with Usyk.
Usyk has been expected to fight Joshua for the second time since outpointing the Brit last September to win the unified heavyweight titles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
