OLEKSANDR USYK’S wife Yekaterina has trolled Tyson Fury after her husband’s £100million Wembley fight with the Gypsy King fell through.
The Ukrainian’s agent Egis Klimas confirmed that the proposed April 29 bout is OFF after failing to agree a deal with Fury’s team.
An explosive fight between the pair would have unified the heavyweight division.
But Klimas revealed: “No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more.”
Usyk will now likely face Brit Daniel Dubois in a mandatory defence of his titles in June or July.
Yekaterina has mocked Fury online for being “greedy” – also labelling the WBC heavyweight champ as the “Gypsy Queen”.

She wrote in Ukrainian: “And for the last time.
“Being greedy is very bad!!!
“The best is yet to come!!!”

She then also posted a mocked up poster of Fury and Derek Chisora – joking that after avoiding Usyk, the Gypsy King would fight Del Boy again.
Yekaterina wrote: “This is the fight that the fans of Belly Fury are waiting for @tysonfury.”
Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, is glad that fans are now seeing how difficult negotiations with Team Fury can be.
The 33-year-old, who has twice seen bouts with the Gypsy King fall through, said: “I will be real. As much as I like to entertain that gossip and Fury situation, I have been there twice and people don’t remember that.
“I was supposed to fight him before I fought Usyk, the first time, and he pulled out due to his legal case, the arbitration, with Wilder. That was all up in the air and done online.
‘IT’S JUST CRAZY’
“Look at all the s*** they are going through now with this Usyk stuff. It’s just crazy.
“I don’t publicise things so it’s actually good that people are starting to see what goes on in negotiations.
“It’s good that people can actually see the s*** that people have got to put up with to make a fight.
“Me and Usyk got two successful fights done. It’s just crazy.”
