Usyk: Marco, cursing is no good!

WBO cruiserweight champion Alexander Usyk (12-0, 10 KOs) is confident that Marco Huck's aggression (40-4-1, 27 KO's) in a face off is only a form of defense against nervous tension before a fight.

"It somehow brought me up with adrenaline. I thought that something like this could happen, and it happened. I do not have any aggression towards Marco, in return I'm not going to push him anyway. I just see that he is nervous, and this is his form of protection. He cannot cope with his emotions. Well, let him push it, but cursing is no good!

I do not need to push somebody so that I can satisfy myself. No way. At the weigh-in I will be ready for this. If he cannot restrain himself at the presser, then there will also be such a thing at the weigh-in. Especially, if it's closer to the battle... It’s a thrash, people like that, it's his form of defense. Let him behave that way, I do not care.

I read that journalists cited me as I said: "I'll bury him." It's a lie, I did not say that. The journalists came up with it. I did not say that, I do not need to. I'll do my job, I am a fighter and I love what I'm doing”.
