Oleksandr Usyk has accepted Tyson Fury’s ultimatum of a 70/30 split – on the condition he donates £1million to Ukraine.
The world champions have been locked in negotiations for months over a bout which will see the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

But that was during the three-belt era, with Fury and Usyk keen to write their place in history.
There have been fears that the dust-up could fall through following a breakdown in talks, according to Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk.
WBC champion Fury took to social media on Friday where he demanded a 70/30 split in his favour, otherwise he would walk away from the table.
And Usyk has called his bluff and accepted Fury’s offer, but stated the unbeaten Mancunian must donate £1m to the Ukrainian appeal, and will have to forfeit one per cent of his purse for every day he doesn’t sign the contract.
Speaking in a video shared to his 1.8m million Instagram followers, Usyk said: “Greedy belly, I accept your offer.
“70/30 split the fight with you on April 29 at Wembley.

“But you will promise to donate to Ukraine immediately after the fight £1million.
“And every day of your delay you will pay one per cent of your purse to the Ukrainian people. Deal?”
Fury immediately responded to Usyk, as he delivered an X-rated response on his Instagram story.
The Gypsy King stated: “Usyk, you little s*** bag.

“Sign the contract, get your money, and get f***** up.
“You little s*** house. You must have saw the size of me and s*** yourself you little gappy-tooth, ugly b******d. Sign the contract.”
Should a deal between the two fighters fail to be agreed, Usyk is likely to face WBA ‘regular’ champion Daniel Dubois.
