The Ukrainian boxer once again spoke about winning the title of absolute champion.
Oleksandr Usyk believes Tyson Fury really doesn’t want to fight him. At the same time, the Ukrainian boxer did not hide that he dreams of fighting with the British.
According to the Ukrainian world champion, he needs the WBC belt that his potential opponent has, as Usyk hopes to go down in boxing history.
“I need to fight Tyson Fury. He has the WBC belt. If you take my three and his one, that’s four. And it’s absolutely at heavyweight. I need a fight with him and a chance to be undisputed that world champion. I think he is very much the opportunity that this is needed, but he somehow does not really burn with this desire.
I am interested in its sporting and historical component. It is clear that there is also a financial component to it, because it is a professional sport, a spectacle. But for me, it’s sport, sporting achievements that I go for. April 1st is 21 years since I was in boxing in general. At the age of 15, I got into boxing, and on April 1, it’s been 21 years since I’ve been in boxing. I joked, got into boxing, and this joke has been going on for 21 years. Such a joke, to be honest,” said Usyk in the movie Usyk – Joshua. The Art of Boxing.
We remind you, earlier Usyk admitted that he lost weight because of the war in Ukraine.
