The WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion spoke about the fan reaction to the canceled British fight.
The fans were very upset when they learned about the cancellation of the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. This is what the owner of the WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight titles, Alexander Usik, said.
At the same time, the Ukrainian admitted that he did everything in his power to ensure that the fight took place.
“Look, I went for everything. The main thing was that it happened, that the fight took place. The whole world of boxing and even people who have not followed boxing like it.
I was driving home, I stopped at a gas station, and an old woman said: “Sasha, what does she want?”
I said: “I don’t know, he wants a lot of money”
And he: “So maybe give him a hare?”
I said he didn’t want to.
And he: “Hmm, maybe we can go somewhere together and give him a hare?”
The British for 70 to 30 wrote to me: “Are you kidding? Well, what is it? You have three belts,” Usyk said in an interview with Vladimir Kobelkov on the Kiev cake YouTube channel.
Earlier, Usyk expressed confidence that the fight with Fury would take place, but not on April 29.
