Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury's highly anticipated boxing battle, planned for April 29, might not take place after all.

Alexander Krassyuk, Usyk's promoter, has expressed scepticism about the event taking place.

Krassyuk thinks that Fury might still cancel the bout even if Usyk accepts to a rematch.

Krassyuk's remarks imply that Fury may have lied about his willingness to engage in combat, and Usyk was able to tell.

Boxing fans who have been eagerly awaiting the matchup between the two combatants will be extremely disappointed if the fight doesn't take place.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk aren't likely to face off because Fury is averse to conflict and is looking for a means to avoid the Ukrainian, said the Ukrainian's promoter Alexander Krassyuk.

Usyk agreed to Fury's demand for a 70/30 financial split in his favour as long as he gave £1 million to Ukraine in light of Russia's invasion.

Even if Fury agrees to Usyk's demands, according to Krassyuk, he will still look for a method to avoid the fight.
