What Tyson Fury told Oleksandr Usyk in classy phone call before signing deal for unification fight | The Sun

TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk shared a private phone call together before agreeing to their historic title unification.

The pair of unbeaten champions have signed an agreement to meet in the heavyweight division's first four-belt undisputed decider.

And according to Fury's managerial rep Spencer Brown, the two actually shared a private conversation after striking a deal.

He told Boxing King Media: "Actually, Tyson and Usyk spoke to each other.

"And Tyson invited him after the fight to go to Morecombe with his kids to have a weekend away.

"Honestly, it was very easy it got done very simply and here we are today."

Brown revealed he had meetings with Usyk's manager Egis Klimas in both New York and London.

And after a four hour meeting between the two parties, a deal was signed and sealed.

Fury, 35, first returns next Saturday in Saudi Arabia against Francis Ngannou, 37, in a huge crossover clash.

And promoters then hope the Gypsy King will move onto the title unification with Usyk, 36, targeted for December 23.

But the Ukrainian sparked doubt over the Christmas cracker having insisted he will need a 14-week training camp to prepare.

Brown responded: "I can assure you that is not the case. I spoke to his managment last night about the situation, so did Frank and George Warren.

"We've had length conversations and that is not the case, we are full steam ahead for the 23rd."
