Tyson Fury has claimed, via social media posts, that Deontay Wilder has asked for a $20m fee to step aside to allow him to fight Anthony Joshua.
A court of arbitration ruled this week that FURY must fight Wilder again by September 15 which would scupper plans for an undisputed title fight against Joshua on August 14.
However, WILDER's new trainer Malik Scott insisted they want to fight Fury and won't accept a pay-off, "No. Wilder declined and had no interest in step aside money. You are dealing with a whole different type [of mentality] over here. He wants the blood not the step aside money.
Isaac Lowe, Fury's training partner, said: "Whoever is next for this man it's not going to go past six rounds. The Gypsy King is the man and is ready to fight."
WBO president Paco Valcarcel said on Tuesday night: "I hope boxing fans will enjoy Joshua vs Usyk in the near future.", with Usyk was named as Joshua's "Plan B" option by promoter Eddie Hearn.
