The WBC heavyweight champion once again belittled the merits of the Ukrainian boxer.

Tyson Fury once again outclassed his rivals in the heavyweight division. The Briton once again spoke of his greatness, compared to all opponents. WBC heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk says he was a nobody until recently.

“The others were in diapers when I thought of Klitschko. I didn’t even think about it. Usyk? When did he become a pro? And Joshua? 2012, 2013? When they boxed in the 2012 Olympics, I was already in the top five in the world.

Fought an eliminator against Cunningham at Madison Square Garden. And Usyk and Joshua jumped into the ring in T-shirts, so they didn’t think about it. And when Anthony appeared on the horizon, I had a pause in my career. Usyk is not on my mind.

Where did he come from? This Ukrainian suddenly increased in weight, defeated Joshua, took all the confessions of Anthony that he had been building for years. Usyk is a worthy opponent, but 5 years ago he was nobody, nobody thought about him.

Times change, things change, but ultimately my goals will always be my goals. My only goal in boxing is to beat the reigning super champion in Wladimir Klitschko. The second longest reigning champion in boxing history,” Fury said on The Fight Within.

It will be remembered that in an interview, the British boxer also spoke about his attraction to another Ukrainian champion – Wladimir Klitschko.
