Oleksandr Krasyuk spoke about the importance of a future rematch between Ukrainian and Anthony Joshua.

The future revenge of Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua is very important, because it opens up huge opportunities for the Ukrainian. Alexander Krasyuk, promoter of the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion, spoke about it in an interview on the SecondsOut YouTube channel.

According to him, Usyk had the opportunity to write his name in the history of boxing. Therefore, the Ukrainian boxer, so far, is working hard on training.

“Usyk trains in the same climate zone where the fight will take place. He is in Dubai.

He was a road warrior. I remember his last fight against Ukraine in December 2015, before he became cruiserweight champion for the first time. The other matches are in Germany, Latvia, USA, England, so training in the UAE is not a problem for Usyk.

Now his family is safe, his mother is safe. Usyk was under no pressure because of the location of his relatives. Now he and his team are concentrated and focused, they are working hard and doing things they have never done before.

They have to do tasks they have never experienced before. They have already won the title as a mandatory contender, but now the task is different – to defend the titles and become champions.

He is likely to be the best boxer not only in the history of Ukraine. No one has achieved this. Absolute champion in two divisions. It’s history, ”Krasyuk said.

The functionary also expressed confidence in the transience of Tyson Fury’s retirement, and that the Briton will surely return for the absolute champion title.

“This is not the first time Fury has retired. Also, Fury has had problems with rematches. He has talked to Wilder, but not to Wladimir Klitschko.

The four belts are something that has never happened in the history of boxing in the heavyweight division. This is a historic moment. It’s not about money, it’s just heritage. And this is a real incentive for a warrior. If the boxer is a real man, he will be willing to fight for free for that status.

So I don’t think it’s a big problem – Tyson Fury’s retirement. I think he could easily decide to come back, “Krasyuk concluded.
