Oleksandr Usyk (20-0.13 KOs) can count on the help of the Klitschko brothers before the upcoming fight with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). Usyk is the IBF, WBA and WBO champion, while Fury holds the last WBC belt. Both sides are in talks about the fight, which is likely to take place in the Middle East.
Usyk, when he was still a heavyweight champion (up to 90.7 kg), sparred with Wladimir Klitschko. In turn, the older brother, Vitaliy, personally supported Alexander before his first fight with Anthony Joshua, from whom the Ukrainian took the heavyweight belts.
“I communicate with both regularly. Vitaly supports me with advice on life and sports, with Vladimir I talk more about technology. I listen carefully to them, and then decide if I can take one of these tips and put it into practice, ”says the ten-year-old Olympic champion.
“I am motivated by the vision of fighting a giant like Fury. Some people don't give me a chance, but it doesn't really mean much to me. I'm just doing my thing. I followed the path of the samurai, which I consistently follow, ”added Usyk.
Fury became world champion for the first time seven years ago when he beat Wladimir Klitschko.
