Bob Arum and Frank Warren have both said that the undisputed fight between Usyk and Fury couldn't take place in Saudi Arabia early this year because the Saudi's wouldn't have a venue for it till November.
They are both lying. The Saudi head of boxing revealed the real reason the deal didn't get made in this interview:

i think we are being a bit unfair on tyson fury hes not really that greedy at all, he was only demanding 500 million

Its pretty clear Fury doesn't fancy the Uysk fight, I do wonder if he is scarred by what Cunningham and his speed done to him and he realises the problem a faster, bigger and more skillful Usyk would give him or whether he is just such a greedy pig for money he wont take the big fights with risk without money that means losing is still winning.
As someone who had become a fan of Fury over the last couple of years, he has let himself down and now looks at best greedy at worst a coward.
So fury pretty much wanted a shlt ton of money?
No, he wanted to price himself out so that he could face a lesser opponent without receiving a huge backlash. It didn't work.
I listed England first because imo that would be the best atmosphere.
However if a neutral site is preferred, Vegas or NYC over SA any day.
Yea,i agree,SA just sucks the emotion/buzz out of any fight there...
Nah man,this fight has no business being here in the states,it be a travesty actually. Deserves a proper atmosphere and crowd only those across the pond bring.

You knew Arum was lying.
Frankly, i want a hot crowd and atmosphere. Saudi Arabia cant provide that.
England, Vegas or MSG is where this fight should be.

F*** that draft dodger, I'm glad he's not getting paid. He should be on the front line.
if the UK was being invaded by France im not sure if u would see AJ and Fury on the front line, that would be some sight tho
Hmm.. i wonder which fighter asked too much money? Must be Usyk because Fury said he's not fighting for money...
Must be Usyk because Fury is the A Side. There's no such thing as too much money for the A Side.
so fury ruined both london and saudi on usyk, thats some going, the gordon gekko of boxing

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Fury getting chit on left , right and center
Even funnier are the Fury ( foolish ) fans who are still here trying to spin it in his favour
Notice how quiet the Usyk camp is , while the truth is spilling over
Usyk camp is quiet cause they’re fighting men. Moved on to Dubois.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
