The manager of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion explained why it is now impossible to organize a fight with Fury.
Oleksandr Usyk is not preparing for the match today and is not training. This is what the manager of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Egis Klimas said. According to the functionary, the Ukrainian boxer went to the front, where he supported our soldiers in the fight against the Kremlin invaders.
That’s why Usyk’s team rejected Fury’s offer to fight for the absolute champion title in December. However, Klimas hopes the fight will take place in February next year.
“Usyk wants to have a unification fight. I hope Tyson makes a decision, and if there are no excuses on his part, we will come in February and fight.
We spent a lot of time preparing for the second fight with Joshua. It took us maybe three and a half or four months. After the battle, Alexander returned to Ukraine.
Until he returned to the front line. He went to enjoy the military. We know that the country is at war. It really is a struggle. It’s not boxing, it has its own foundation. He helps a lot of people. He is doing his duty to the country.
Therefore, he could not prepare for battle. In a week or two, he will leave Ukraine and go to the USA. We have some plans. We are going to the WBO Congress.
After that, he can start preparing. So that brings us to February. I have nothing to say about Fury. I wouldn’t mind Team Fury. He has a team, he has advisers. Let them work with him,” Klimas said on Boxing 24/7.
We will remind you, earlier in the Fury team they said when they should wait for the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
