The Ukrainian champion told how he felt the constant deterioration and postponement of the fight with the Briton.
Oleksandr Usyk fully implemented his plan for the fight against Tyson Fury and gave his opponent as much freedom as allowed. The former two-time absolute champion himself announced this, and now holds the WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles.
In general, the Ukrainian boxer was satisfied with his preparation for the first fight with the Briton, but the only unpleasant moment was the constant postponement of the fight.
“For me, it makes no difference what he saw about me in the fight. The main thing is what I saw about him. The coach, my whole team – we watched the fight on the recording. I have my own adjustment to the work, the coach has his own And here we will do something new.
We did everything we planned. Everything just depends on how my opponent behaves. He behaved exactly as we allowed him to. That is, my opponent is acting as I allow.
We did everything we prepared for and everything I trained for. But we did a little more work than we planned, because our camp lasted not three or four months, as usual, but nine. I mean, there was a fight – they postponed it, the date was changed again – it was postponed, the date was changed again – Tyson was injured. It was all moved, moved, moved, and to be honest, I got bored of that camp, we changed some jobs. But we did everything we planned, and, thank God, there was success,” Usyk said in a commentary to Kanał Sportowy.
We remind you that the rematch between Usik and Fury is scheduled for December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Usik talked about the surprises he is preparing for his rematch with Fury.
