TYSON FURY has told Oleksandr Usyk to forget about a rematch clause if he wants to secure their April 29 undisputed Wembley showdown.
Morecambe’s 34-year-old WBC Gypsy King has thrown a handful of financial hurdles in the way of getting the four-belt decider made.
And now he is back at it again by demanding the loser gets no shot at a rerun written into the contract.
WBA, IBF and WBO boss Usyk has already had to agree to the slim side of a 70-30 split in Tyson Fury’s home – after the Brit refused a 50-50 split in Saudi Arabia.
And now he is being told to accept a one-fight deal, meaning no chance of getting instant retribution if he were to suffer a controversial decision in Fury’s backyard.
The undefeated 6ft 9in giant growled: “I have been speaking to the lawyers today and Usyk’s people are talking about rematch clauses and all that bs.

Promoter Alexander Krassyuk told talkSPORT: “Let’s imagine Usyk accepts no rematch, Fury will search for another thing to pull out.
