Usik’s promoter assures that the Saudi side is striving to do everything at an ideal level
Alexander Krasyukpromoter of the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Alexandra Usikaspoke about the Saudi organizers of the unification fight of the Ukrainian against the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury.
“These are amazing people. They are great professionals and they have enormous knowledge and experience in the sport. So they obviously understood this situation and want to arrange a fight. Therefore, they make every effort to meet all the needs and desires of the fighters.”
“These are the champions. Champion will fight champion, so they want the fighters to feel confident. That’s what they do and they do it perfectly.”
The fight between Usik and Fury was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. However, it later became clear that the “Gypsy King” would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Krasyuk recently announced that the unification fight between Usyk and WBC belt holder Tyson Fury will not take place on December 23 and will be held in early 2024. The reason for the transfer was the damage Fury suffered in his last fight with Ngannou.
