“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.
