Tyson is seriously preparing for the meeting with the Ukrainian
WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury commented on the upcoming unification fight with the world champion according to WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO Alexander Usik.
“Our fight with Usyk is truly a special moment in boxing history. In addition, I will be able to gather all the heavyweight belts under one flag, this is the first time in 25 years.”
“If it weren’t for the Turks, I would definitely be retired. He is a big boxing fan and can organize any fight. The Turks could bring back Lennox Lewis for a rematch with Vitali Klitschko. I think he can even organize the Klitschko-Usyk fight.”
“Usik is still a “bad guy.” It is impossible to underestimate him. I am preparing very seriously for this confrontation. What happens after the gong? You will see how the rabbit runs away, and I catch up with him and beat him. Although this is boxing, what if he starts aggressively. You’ll see everything on May 18.”
The unification fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between Usik and Fury will take place on May 18. The list of other fights that will take place as part of the boxing evening in Saudi Arabia is also known. Among them is the fight between Ukrainian Daniel Lapin and Portuguese Octavio Pudivitra for the WBA Continental light heavyweight title.
The event, as already mentioned, will be hosted by Saudi Riyadh. The WBC proposes to reform the judges for the reporting fight, increasing their number to 5-6 people. Penalties for boxers who refuse to fight are $10 million.
WBC President Mauricio Suleiman announced that an agreement had been concluded between the boxers for a re-fight. The WBO is also ready to sanction the second fight. It was reported that the fate of a possible rematch depends on the holding of the first fight. Fury said that the contract has a mandatory rematch clause, and a re-fight with Usyk could take place in October.
