The Ukrainian boxer can become an absolute world champion for the second time, but this is not the main thing.
WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usik said what motivated him to fight for the absolute world champion title against WBC heavyweight belt holder Tyson Fury.
According to the Ukrainian, he is ready to fight for his family and country.
“My motivation is my family, my country, the people who support my country now, the Ukrainian soldiers. This is my motivation.
I have a chance to become an absolute world champion for the second time. This also motivates,” said Usyk in an interview for the Gloves Off show on TNT Sports.
Let’s remember that the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion is scheduled for February 17 this year, it will take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Let’s remember that Fury previously hurt Usik over an earring and received a well-deserved response from the Ukrainian.
