Negotiations between Fury and Usyk were tough with their camps taking to social media to state problems in making a deal.

Fury then released a video stating that he would only accept the fight on a 70/30 financial split.

Usyk agreed to the demands by Fury but insisted that he donates one million dollars to support his country Ukraine going through a war.

Fury then demanded that Usyk agrees to remove the mandatory rematch clause in the contract to make the fight.

Usyk's promoter Alexander Krassyuk refused the latest demands by Fury and issued a deadline to get the fight done.

The negotiations are now reportedly off with a total disagreement from both parties.

In a report by Steve Kim, the undisputed fight is off as both fighters could not agree to a deal.

Usyk's manager Egis Klimas told Kim that the fight was off because Fury and his team kept making more demands.

He said, “No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more.

"If this fight is going to happen, only April 29th. Or it's just going to be canceled, and we'll go with the mandatory."

There will be consequences if Fury and Usyk do not agree to an undisputed fight by April 1.

Klimas then went on to reveal that now the undisputed fight is out of the way, Usyk will return to the ring against a  mandatory defense in June/July. 

The WBA have already stated that Usyk is to defend his title against Daniel Dubois if the undisputed title fight is not made.

Frank Warren of Queensbury promotion is yet to confirm if the undisputed fight is off as Fury continues to post training videos on social media.
