The promoter of the Ukrainian boxer shared his expectations from the fight for the title of absolute champion.
Oleksandr Usyk will not underestimate Tyson Fury ahead of the upcoming fight for the title of absolute champion of the world. This was said by the promoter of the Ukrainian boxer Alexander Krasyuk.
According to the functionary, his ward will not consider the Briton’s fight against Francis Ngannou, as the Briton may have a bad day.
“Let me say that the Ngannou fight did not change Usyk’s mind. He is a very rational and intelligent person who understands that sometimes terrible days happen, and for Tyson it is a complete what a bad day. There may be different reasons for this, but it was one of the worst Fury performances we’ve seen, but that doesn’t mean we’ll see Tyson fight Francis on February 17th.
We have discussed this issue as a team and believe this will be the biggest and toughest fight of Fury’s career. He knows how hard he has to train and work to get in the ring with the unified heavyweight champion and former undisputed heavyweight champion.
Tyson was someone who underestimated Ngannou and didn’t think he was a boxer, but Usyk was a boxer and he took it as seriously as he could.
There are differences in size, weight, boxing experience, IQ, footwork and amateur experience. If you sum up all the factors in one table, there will not be a 100% answer – the answer will be found within 12 rounds, and this is a fight for the absolute heavyweight champion, and you cannot guarantee who will win, but I am confident because I know how much work Usik does in the training camp and how many difficulties he overcomes.
I can’t argue with Tyson that the winner depends on God, but Usyk has been different and is a former undisputed heavyweight champion and unified heavyweight champion, but he is very humble. But I know Tyson will overcome his arrogance and become a student at training camp, and that’s what we want. We want to be terrible, difficult, and so that we can beat Tyson Fury at his best, because the cost of winning becomes very high,” Boxing Scene quotes Krasyuk.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury is scheduled for February 17 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, former world champion Carl Froch said the fight could be postponed to another day.
