August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) will defend the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts together against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs). The Ukrainian champion does not hide the fact that he would prefer to meet another Briton - Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).
“The whole world wants me to fight Fury. I don't think I'm fighting the wrong Brit, but that's the way it is. An Englishman is standing in my way, and I have to meet him, ”Usyk said in an interview with TNT Sports.
“I think Fury as a person is a great guy, a great father, and as an athlete he is also great. The only thing I can complain about is that he talks too much and does too little. Everyone is waiting for the Fury-Usyk fight and are tired of talking, we must finally do this, Usyk said. - But I do not underestimate Dubois, I respect him and treat him like all my previous rivals. I train just like I train for Joshua, I train for anyone else, and I also prepare for Dubois. There are no exceptions here. I do exactly the same job, I train with all my might!”
