Usyk: "I would love to meet Fury, but he's afraid of me"

Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) on the occasion of the press conference held on Thursday before the fight with Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) was repeatedly asked about the unification fight with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). The Ukrainian did not hide the fact that he was very interested in the confrontation with the "Gypsy King", as a result of which the absolute heavyweight champion could be determined.

“I don’t think about Fury, but I would like to meet him in the ring. I don't care about his belt anymore. I need a fight with Fury, the WBC belt will just be an additional motivation. People must see our fight, we must meet him face to face, ”Usyk said.

When asked to comment on Fury's fight with Francis Ngannou, the WBA, WBO and IBF champion said the following: “He could fight me for all the belts, but he chose a guy with zero boxing experience. I think the greedy belly is afraid of me."
