The former regular WBA heavyweight world champion commented on the Fury fight.
Alexander Povetkin spoke about the fight between Alexander Usik and Tyson Fury. The former regular WBA world heavyweight champion said he will be rooting for the Ukrainian.
At the same time, the representative of the aggressor country called Usik a “Russian man” who, like other Ukrainians, was “deceived.”
“This is far from an easy fight. Perhaps Alexander is more technical, but Fury is an awkward, clumsy and smelly boxer. And, naturally, he is bigger than Usik. And his size will play into Fury’s hands . And I will get sick. …
Of course for Alexandri. No matter what happens, I will root for him. Perhaps he does not understand it himself, but he is a Russian man. They do not understand it themselves, they are deceived. In general, I will root for him,” said Match TV to Povetkin.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Usik named his secret weapon in the fight for the title of absolute world champion.
