Christian Blacklock, physical training coach for the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, told how he diligently and hard prepared for the fight with Alexander Usik.
“We worked for four months, dozens of training sessions, massages, cooking. Give up the Christmas holidays with your family, and then go to Saudi Arabia for two months, miss the New Year celebrations with your family and loved ones, and not see your children for weeks. This is all to do our best to get Fury into the best shape of his life. Obviously we're all upset and depressed about the cut, a freak accident during sparring that some people are really questioning. But we will regroup and work again, as always, decisively,” the specialist said.
Let us remind you that it became known earlier that the new date for the Usyk-Fury fight will be May 18.
