The Briton is confident of his victory over the Ukrainian champion
WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury spoke about how he plans to defeat the world champion in versions over WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO in the heavyweight division Alexandra Usik. According to the Briton, he can outbox the Ukrainian.
“I can outbox him. I’m a very good boxer, but I don’t use it anymore. When I boxed Wladimir Klitschko, I outboxed him perfectly. I feinted, slid, dodged – and he couldn’t land a single blow.”
“I’ll do the same with Usyk if I want. Or I will stand on my front leg and make a cut. There is only one man who stands in his way of total domination of Europe, and that is the “Gypsy King”. I want to say that there has never been anyone in the UK other than Tyson Fury. Not Joshua, not David Haye, not Chisora, not Dubois, not Joe Joyce. Only Tyson Fury. “I’m up, I’m going to defend and I’m going to be the winner,” Fury said.
The Usyk-Fury fight will officially take place on February 17. The title of absolute heavyweight champion will be at stake. The event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The undercard of the Usyk-Fury fight will feature former IBF cruiserweight world champion Jay Opetaja, 19-year-old Itauma and IBF super featherweight world champion Joe Cordina.
In his last fight, Fury defeated Francis Ngannou by split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
