According to the British "Daily Star" report, the famous heavyweight boxers Dillian White and Anthony Joshua may withdraw from the battle with Tyson Furi and Orecsand Usik in the case of a huge concession fee, thus promoting Furi vs Usik to stage an undisputed heavyweight united war.
Joshua lost to Usik last September, losing the three golden belts of the WBA, IBF and WBO, and according to the contract, the two sides can fight a second battle, which is initially set for April this year. Meanwhile, White, as a forced challenger, will storm Fury's WBC boxing throne. However, White and Fury could not finalize the game due to the difference in remuneration, and in this case, the parties hoped to develop a compromise plan that would satisfy everyone.
The Daily Star revealed that Joshua will receive £15 million (about $20 million) to give way fees, and White will get £5 million (about $6.8 million) to give way fees, no longer wrestling with Fury and Usik, and ask for the next challenge to the victor of Fury vs Usik.
White and Joshua have combined to pay £20 million (about $26.8 million), and I wonder if they will be impressed?
White and Joshua co-promoter Eddie Hearn recently said they would consider withdrawing from the war if the fare was appropriate. "We're still working in the direction of Joshua vs Usik, White vs. Fury, but someone wants to see Fury vs Usik play out and be willing to pay a lot of concessions, and if there's a lot of money at the bottom of the pool and a plan that makes all the boxers happy, then it's going to happen, but the problem is time," Hearn said. ”
Hearne confessed that his original plan was for the winner of the battle between Fury and White, and then face joshua vs Usik, but as White and Fury struggled to reach an agreement, the situation was complicated.
Herne said: "The question of White and Furi has made the negotiations very difficult, everyone wants to give up, my plan is still Furie vs White, Joshua vs Usik (the second battle), people want to see Joshua, the victor of Usik, and furi fight an undisputed boxing war, if there is no White, the game will happen." ”
Hearn seems to be disgusted with White, but White is the legal challenger, and after waiting for many years, he deserves to be qualified to challenge the King of Fighters, but this jun is too greedy, otherwise it will not lead to a stalemate in the negotiations.
Although the fact that White and Joshua were given a high fee for the withdrawal of the race was not confirmed, The co-promoter of Furi, Bob Arum, seems to be suggesting that this is true with actions, because there are reports that Arum is in contact with the Middle East and hopes to put the battle of Furi and Usik in dubai in the Middle East.
Will White and Joshua agree to withdraw from the competition? They themselves have not yet responded, and the promoter Herne's attitude is more clear, as long as the road fare is appropriate, they will consider withdrawing from the game, but what if the road fee is not appropriate? Earlier, Fury expressed his willingness to pay Joshua for the road, and Hearn directly said that it was less than $40 million. Now, it is rumored that Joshua will receive £15 million (about $20 million) for the concession fee, which is far from the concession fee previously requested, and if Joshua agrees, the only explanation is that he is not sure of revenge on Usik.
There is also the question, if White and Joshua do withdraw, when the battle between Fury vs Usik is staged, who will face their winner? Is it White or Joshua? Some boxing fans joked: Just let White and Joshua come to the last game, and the winner will challenge Furi and Usik to win! It is estimated that White and Joshua will not necessarily receive a lower honorarium than the one who challenged Fury.
