The Briton remembered how the Ukrainian knocked him out.
Former world champion Tyson Fury shares his memory of the fight with Alexander Usik.
According to the Briton, the Ukrainian has a good punch, but it’s not strong enough.
“He shook me up in the ninth round because he hit me in the temple. He didn’t have the power of the punch and then about 5-10 times he didn’t knock me down a few times after that, but I didn’t fall. If I found myself in such a situation with another heavyweight, I was completely killed, but this guy did not knock me down.
So no, Usyk won’t punch. He hit just the right spot. It’s not a fact that he will hit it like that in ten more tries. He only surprised me once in the first fight, Alexander is not a puncher,” Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions quotes Tyson as saying.
We remind you that the rematch between Usik and Fury will take place on December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Usik and Fury had a first battle of views before their rematch.
