Rumor: Usyk vs Whyte in Saudi Arabia(25 million purse), AJ step aside

[Duckweather]

Rumor: Usyk vs Whyte in Saudi Arabia with AJ step aside. This option is being explored and likely to make more vs Usyk than fury fight.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Why would Usyk agree to that when he could make far more vs AJ?

[QballLobo]

So Whyte makes more but Usyk makes much less than fighting a guy he already beat? Makes no sense.

No idea, but it is being discussed.

It's being funded by Saudi, usyk might be making more with a bigger split.

Entirely possible depending on how much the Saudi’s put up

not unreasonable they would pay the £10m to Whyte that he wants. Then he gets his title shot, no more dealing with the WBC and he makes more than the 20% he gets for the Fury fight

Then AJ gets out of the Usyk fight, which it seems he and Eddie are desperate to at this point.

Seems ideal all round for Eddie, AJ and Whyte at least

Way to spin it like it’s Joshua trying to get out of a fight , Fury is wishing and hoping he can find a way not fight Whyte .

This is a totally realistic and credible rumor
