Frank Warren insists Tyson Fury is not to blame for failed Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk fights

Both teams blamed each other, with the Ukrainians publicly accusing Fury of making ‘’ after the WBO, WBA, and IBF champion agreed to take just 30 per cent of the fight purse.

It’s hoped that the eagerly anticipated four-belt clash will take place in Saudi Arabia later this year as part of a heavyweight mega-event – also featuringWarren claims his team tried to make the fight earlier but says the former cruiserweight champion ignored their offer beforewith Skill Challenge Entertainment who are yet to make a written offer to Fury.

“All Usyk is interested in is, getting a big payday and fighting for big paydays in Saudi Arabia," he told talkSPORT Fight Night.Fury considers call-out from heavyweight who lost out on Joshua fight due to drugs "I don’t blame him for that. I understand that but don’t make it that Tyson is the greedy person. You go to Saudi Arabia because they are going to pay a lot of money and that’s what it is.

"If you’re getting paid three or four times the amount of money, whether you want to call it greed, good business, or whatever, that’s not down to Tyson Fury."We offered him that fight over the summer, and we kept it very quiet, we haven’t banged on about it, and in the interim period Usyk never came back with anything.”
