Usyk Camp Denies Fury's 'Back-Up Plan' Claims Amid Joshua Negotiations

Oleksandr Usyk's management has refuted Tyson Fury's assertion that the Ukrainian is being considered as a secondary option for a potential fight. Fury had claimed he was shifting his focus to a third bout with Usyk, suggesting that negotiations for a November heavyweight clash with Anthony Joshua were faltering.

However, Usyk's team has firmly stated that they are not interested in being a contingency plan. This development comes as discussions for the highly anticipated Fury vs. Joshua fight continue, with Fury publicly questioning Joshua's commitment to the bout.
