Unified world heavyweight champion Ukrainian Alexander Usik shared his mood for the upcoming fight with the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury, which will take place on February 17 in Riyadh.
“I really like The Ring belt. It means a lot because it is very difficult to get it and such a rating. I fight for a legacy, not for money. There haven't been fights like this in the heavyweight division since 1999. I know the history. Winning this belt may be the most important achievement in your entire career.
I really don't pay attention to Tyson right now. I don't look at what he does. Most of his opponents fell for him. Me not. I focus on myself and what I will do in the ring. Me and my coach watched his fights, we are preparing for anything. I don't care what he's going to do. I don't care. He may underestimate me or overestimate me. I have my own plans for him. “I have an advantage that he doesn’t know about,” Usyk said in an interview with The Ring.
