Usyk's Complaint About 'Trip Hazard'
Oleksandr Usyk's team has raised safety concerns just days before the highly anticipated fight with Tyson Fury. The Ukrainian camp reportedly filed a complaint about a potential trip hazard on the ring canvas in Saudi Arabia.
Canvas Controversy and Dramatic Build-Up
This complaint adds to the list of twists in the lead-up to the mega match-up. Notably, three years ago at the same Riyadh venue, incidents involving slipping on the mat have occurred. The fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown is set to be the first since 1999.

Stakes Are High
Both fighters recognize the significance of this bout, with Fury calling it "the fight of the ages." The match will determine the undisputed world heavyweight champion, a title neither boxer wants to let slip away.
Record-Breaking Earnings Expected
While the exact figures remain undisclosed, the potential earnings from this fight are expected to be staggering. Promoter Bob Arum hinted at the possibility of Tyson Fury earning well beyond $100 million, emphasizing the magnitude of this historic showdown.
