Find out why the British boxer set impossible tasks under the contract for the Ukrainian champion.
At first, Tyson Fury did not plan to enter the ring against Oleksandr Usyk and did not even begin to prepare for the fight with the Ukrainian boxer. This is what the coach of British boxer Sugarhill Steward said.
The specialist admitted that he flew to the UK to train another fighter, and it just so happened that at that moment negotiations were underway to arrange a fight for the title of absolute world champion.
As for the WBC title holder, his training process has yet to begin, despite the April 29th fight date being set.
“Everyone has forgotten that I trained Lawrence Okoli for his fight in Manchester. I had a plane ticket for March 28. I want Fury to fight the best and he wants to fight the best. It will happen when it happens. We are not control.
I didn’t really care because I was focused on Okoli. So I flew to the UK. I’m glad you asked me, because I’m here for Lawrence. I always accompany him in the training camp.
Coincidentally, this coincided with negotiations and talks about the Fury-Usyk fight. When we arrived in Manchester, we started using Tyson’s gym for training. Of course, I will go there, because for me it’s like home, I feel comfortable there.
We arrived here the week of the match and proceeded to prepare for the match. Tyson knew I was here for Lawrence. We went to the gym with him, but I didn’t train him. We didn’t work on the paws, we didn’t do anything for Usyk. I trained Lawrence,” Boxing News 24/7 quotes Steward as saying.
Earlier, the promoter Alexander Krasyuk called the reasons for the failure of the fight between Tyson Fury and Alexander Usik.
