On December 3, boxing fans will see the third fight of the current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) with Derek Chisora, and in March the British giant is expected to fight the IBF, WBA and WBO world champions Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). Meanwhile, the Ukrainian responds to Fury's incessant harassment, while returning to his campaign for titles this year.
“I was not deeply involved in the fighting on the front in Ukraine. I was active in the local law enforcement agencies and after talking with front-line soldiers, I decided to participate in the second fight with Anthony Joshua. They convinced me that I should tell the world about the crimes of Putin and the Russian army in the big sports arena,” Usyk said.
“Popularity must be accepted with dignity. Sometimes I don't like being recognized, but I have to take responsibility. The Joshua rematch was postponed, and the fight with Fury had to be postponed until later. I need to recover, but the fight with Tyson is still my priority. I also said that I want to fight Deontay Wilder, but I will beat Fury first. In this sequence, contrary to all rumors," the Ukrainian added.
“Tyson, borracho (Spanish for “drunkard” - ed.) ... Fight me! Let's show the fans who's the best in the world. I don't want to fight Joe Joyce, he's like a tank, besides, I've already fought him. But joking aside, I just want to fight for the belts, ”Usyk summed up the topic.
