Undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk answered the question of what he would choose - to overcome himself in a fight with heavyweight Tyson Fury or to fight his category fighter Denis Lebedev for big money.

“I will take cash in Lebedev fight, and then go out against Fury,” Usyk joked.

Prior to this question, Usyk said that overcoming himself for him is the main motivation and opponent.

“When a guy who is bigger and taller comes in front of you, you overcome yourself. Money is not bad. With them it will be easier for my family, I can travel more, buy something. Trophies... I do not think about such worldly things. I won them, I thank God for that. I thank the Almighty for this every day. Overcoming yourself is a competitive feeling, it sits inside, and urge you to do something,” said Usyk.
