Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk 'is OFF' as Ukrainian leaves training camp

The long-awaited heavyweight unification bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is over, according to reports. After months of negotiations, arrangements for an April 29 fight at Wembley Stadium in London have collapsed, with the Ukrainian squad confirming he has left training camp.

Egis Klimas, the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion's manager, said that although his client publicly agreed to a 70-30 split, Fury continued to make demands: "No matter how badly Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more,” he said.

Klimas also said the 36-year-old plans to return in June or July to do mandatory defence, with Daniel Dubois as the main contender. Fury, or his representatives, have yet to comment on the development.

Earlier this month, the blockbuster matchup seemed to have been saved when Usyk appeared to call 'The Gypsy King' bluff, agreeing to Fury's new financial offer. But the WBC champion then tried to alter the negotiations further by proposing that the rematch clause be removed.

But on March 14, it seemed that a compromise had finally been reached. Fury, 34, tweeted a video claiming the fight would indeed continue on April 29 and announced he would be undertaking a "social media blackout" as he entered training camp.

And on Sunday, Fury promoter Frank Warren teased fans by suggesting a deal would soon be announced. Following Arsenal's win over Crystal Palace: "Arsenal are 8 points clear! Even bigger news to come!"
