The WBC heavyweight title holder called himself the chosen one to stop the Ukrainians.
Tyson Fury called himself chosen to defend Europe from the Ukrainians.
In an interview with BoxNation, the WBC heavyweight title holder recalled his victory over Wladimir Klitschko and vowed to defeat another of our compatriots.
– Isn’t he the British ripper at the moment? He beat Dubois, Chisora, AJ. The only thing standing in his way of gaining complete control of Europe is the Gypsy King.
– Do you remember the last Ukrainian who outboxed all the British?
– Vladimir – no one can defeat him, and the Gypsy King is sent, sent to him as a corpse to be torn to pieces. I watched his matches, he made a mess. And then I, a young boxer, left the ring with all the belts. And he repeated it not just once, but over and over.
I talked about this many years ago. I remember being told at a press conference in 2015 that no one else, only me, was chosen, and it was true. When you need to fight the best, against the dominant at this level, in this game, send me.
“Of course,” Fury said.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury is scheduled to take place on May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Usyk spoke about his actions if Fury refuses to fight him again.
