Alexander Usik’s manager explains how the Ukrainian can become an absolute world champion.
Alexander Usik will be the absolute world heavyweight boxing champion. This is what the manager of Ukrainian boxer Egis Klimas thinks.
According to the functionary, the future opponent of WBA, WBO and IBF title holder Tyson Fury does not seem to be an invincible opponent.
And although the fight with the Briton will be the biggest challenge of Usik’s career, his ward has the qualities to defeat the WBC champion.
“We worked for a very long time to get this fight, and now we finally did it. Of course, this fight will not be easy. Perhaps this is the most difficult fight in Alexander’s career. Usik is confident, but at the same time he understands that there is a lot of work to be done. He is a hard worker, a great athlete and a great fighter.
It is difficult to find sparring partners because Tyson Fury is very tall, long arms, very awkward style, heavy. This is the biggest challenge.
But I have no doubt about Alexander’s victory. It shows through his footwork, his intelligence, his boxing IQ. Fury can’t be said to have much power. Yes, he is heavy, and he hangs his opponents. In this way he exhausts them. But it will not be easy to beat Alexander,” Boxing Talk quotes Klimas as saying.
We remind you that the fight for the title of absolute champion in the heavyweight division between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17, 2024 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Let’s remember that former famous coach Teddy Atlas named Usik’s main advantage over Fury.
