“Sport is sport and business is business. For me, boxing is only a sport, and for those who organize it, it is big business, ”said the IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).
“Fury is a well-trained big guy who knows what to do. It won't be a walk, I know that, but I'm ready. God bless me to win! I will do absolutely everything to win,” Usyk continued in an interview with Interia.
“When I was 15, my main sport was football. At some point, my family could not afford to continue my hobby. Boxing was free. When I came to the training, I immediately liked it. God sends us signs, but we do not notice them, ”added one of the best boxers in the world, regardless of weight category.
A few days earlier, Usyk indicated specific dates and time frames in which the unification of the heavyweight belts could take place.
“Fury is a very unpredictable guy, so nothing is clear with him. I would like to meet him in February or at the very beginning of March. Preferably March 4, because I am Orthodox and do not fight in the post before Easter. Thus, we must meet no later than March 4 or no later than April 16, ”Usyk said.
