The two-time absolute world champion is fully committed to fighting the Briton.
Alexander Usik told how his wife motivates him in important matches. According to the unified heavyweight world champion, this is what happened during the fight with Tyson Fury.
At the same time, the Ukrainian boxer said that he does not pay much attention to everything that happens outside the ring, because he is constantly focused on his opponent and the fight.
“I listened to my wife, coach, some friends, but I was completely focused on what was happening in the ring. You are strong, I believe in you.” And so on. This is my additional motivation, because this is my husband. But I know why I entered the ring so I didn’t lose focus.
I have been boxing for 22 years. Support helps me and doesn’t discourage me. If they shout bad words at me, I have no effect. Bad words don’t reach me,” Usyk said in an interview with Mail Sport Boxing.
We remind you that the rematch between Usik and Fury is scheduled for December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Fury’s promoter called the Usik fight the turning point.
