Frank Warren, promoter of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, explained why his client spoke badly to Oleksandr Usyk at a press conference.
In an interview with Boxing Scene Warren said:
Look the last time we signed for it last year, it was them who pulled out. Tyson's very frustrated. I think that frustration boiled over at the press conference in as much as, this has been a real irritant, everyone saying "why isn't this going on".
