Head of K2 Promotions Ukraine Alexander Krasyuk, promoting the career of the unified world heavyweight champion Alexandra Usika, told how the Ukrainian reacted to the postponement of the fight with the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury.
“Alexander is doing well. He could fight this coming Saturday, but unfortunately this will not happen. We all know the reason. Usik is a high-level professional. He took this news with a smile and with full understanding of what was happening.
So, this will be another test for Usik, but he is ready for the difficulties. So nothing has changed significantly. The only changes are the date. Everything else remains the same,” Krasyuk is quoted as saying by talkSPORT
Let us remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury was planned for February 17 in Riyadh, but was postponed due to a cut the Briton received during the training camp. Now the boxers are scheduled to meet on May 18 there.
