Alexander Usik’s promoter commented on the WBC champion’s victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Tyson Fury did not take his fight with Francis Ngannou seriously and almost paid for it. This is what Alexander Usik’s promoter Alexander Krasyuk thinks.
According to the functionary, he was surprised by the way the fight went in Saudi Arabia, as he expected an early victory for the British boxer against the MMA fighter.
“I was really surprised by what happened. Usually you expect Fury to win. When he fights an MMA guy, you expect him to win easily.
We debated whether Tyson would play until the sixth round or end the fight in the first. But in fact, Tyson didn’t do it.
He’s not taking this fight seriously, and that’s karma. When you are arrogant, when you don’t take your opponent seriously, sometimes you have to pay for it,” Krasyuk said in an interview with iFL TV.
We remind you that Fury was knocked down in the third round, but won by split decision.
Earlier, Tyson Fury announced when he will have a rematch with Francis Ngannou.
