The manager of the Ukrainian world champion Egis Klimas revealed the reasons for his offensive statements to the British boxer.
Tyson Fury is not afraid of Alexander Usik himself, but of defeating Alexander Usik. This sees the reason for the continued postponement of the fights of the British boxer Medenger, holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles, Egis Klimas.
The functionary also explained that this is exactly what he meant when he accused the WBC champion of cowardice.
“That’s why I called Tyson a coward on social media. I mean he’s not afraid of the Usyk fight. He can’t. He’s a professional fighter. He’s been in the ring a few times. You can’t be afraid of him. But you know. most heavyweights are they afraid to enter the ring, I won’t name them, but there are many of them.
He is not afraid of Alexander Usik. He is afraid of losing to Oleksandr Usyk, that is what he is afraid of. He may not feel it, but it is what it is.
Listen, even when I call him, he calls all the pieces of the line, rat, blah blah blah. Who does he think he is that he doesn’t deserve to be insulted in return?
Fury’s wife is upset? That’s not true. I did not call him in any way. I said, there were so many bitches in his camp that one of them probably hit him with a frying pan. This is what I mean. But I would never say that even to my worst enemy. I have nothing to say about their wives. Again, if he thinks so, so be it.
I think Tyson always backs down like that. When you try to fight for three years, you hit the same wall. He didn’t agree, he didn’t want this, he didn’t want that – okay, let’s do 70 to 30, Usik gets 30, you get 70. Something is happening again, this is not what we want. Enough means enough.
Then we agreed that we will perform in Saudi Arabia. We left the room, shook hands and the deal was done. I thought this was the simplest agreement we could make. Boom, we have a date. December 23 is so beautiful. So let’s go fight him. He’s getting a bruise. So we are moving the date to February 17th. A week before the trip to Saudi Arabia, two weeks before the match, boom, he got cut. What else can enter my mind? Of course, all kinds of wild things enter my mind,” Boxing Scene quoted Klimas as saying.
We remind you that the Usyk-Fury fight, scheduled for February 17, has been postponed to May 18. The fight will take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Fury’s promoter previously said when the Briton would be able to resume sparring after the cut.
