The event in Riyadh will be hot, Frank believes
Frank Warrenco-promoter of WBC title holder Tyson Furyspoke about his charge’s readiness for a unification fight with the world champion according to WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO Alexander Usik.
“Tyson is now in the best shape I have ever seen. The most important thing is that he is mentally prepared for this fight.”
“Usyk beat all the British people he boxed with. He beat Tony Bellew and beat A.J. twice. He’s used to fighting big guys.”
“Tyson is a completely different type of boxer. He can adapt and he’s a really great ring master. I see how he stops Usyk, I see how it will work.”
“Usyk doesn’t like body blows. It is a fact. And he always complains about the referee. I think the Fury-Usyk fight will be similar to the second Tyson-Wilder fight where Fury just tore it apart. I see that such developments will happen in this fight.”
The unification fight 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 will be hosted by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 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 there was a mandatory rematch clause in the contract. Subsequently, it became known that the second meeting in the ring between the Ukrainian and the British was scheduled for October 12-13.
Suleiman also presented a special WBC belt for which Usik and Fury will fight. Its design uses the colors of the Ukrainian and British flags. Pope Francis has already blessed the World Boxing Council belt that will be on the line in the title fight.
