Oleksandr Usyk ‘has secret clause in Tyson Fury fight contract to prevent Gypsy King pulling out again’

But Fury was forced to withdraw after suffering a horror cut in sparring that required 14 stitches.

The bout has since been postponed to May 18 and both have agreed to forfeit £10MILLION of their own cash if they withdraw.

But Usyk’s trainer Sergey Lapin has also claimed Filip Hrgovic is already lined up to replace Fury if lightening does strike twice.

Lapin told Fruity Slots: “I hope Usyk will get the chance to settle the score with Fury on May 18.

“But if he continues to run, then we have a clause in the agreement to replace Fury with Filip Hrgovic.

“Hrgovic is the back-up opponent, so the show will go on regardless of whether he shows up, this was also confirmed by His Excellency Turki Al Sheikh.”

Fury, 35, was just two weeks out from the fight of his life when an accidental elbow by sparring partner Agron Smakici sliced him open.

But Lapin goaded: “Let’s say he did get cut – through a head guard and with large training gloves – can you imagine what will happen to his head when he receives a bomb from the Usyk in a ten-ounce glove?

“If Fury finally dares to enter the ring on May 18, then it will be a terrible dream for him, he has never boxed with a boxer of this level in his life.

“Ngannou exposed Fury for what he is, a fighter with too many miles on clock, a fighter who has had too many wars.

“And, a fighter who is now in rapid decline to the point he’s been badly troubled by sparring partners.”
