“I never imagine how I would box with one, how I would fight with another. Is it possible to beat a man of Fury's size? Why not, but I'm afraid to say such things. Because someone might say: “Oh, he’s imagining something about himself.” But I think I could create problems for him. Moreover, I would no longer be a light heavyweight. I would gain weight and have a proper lunch,” said the boxer.
Let us remember that earlier Beterbiev doubted that Usik’s team would offer him a fight in the heavyweight limit.
