WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik commented on the victory of the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) over the mixed martial arts star. Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KO).
“Everything was great, an incredible evening. I enjoyed sitting in the ringside and watching what was happening. When I saw the knockdown, I was a little worried. You know, first of all, I was very worried about Tyson Fury. Because I thought there might be some irregularities. Yes, I even yelled at Tyson to jab and move.
From a boxing perspective, Tyson won. Of course, it overlaps with the fact that Ngannou is not a boxer, and Tyson is the world heavyweight champion.
In general, it seems to me that this is Tyson’s game to somehow relax me. But I understand that I need to do a lot of work to get into the ring with him and win. But if Fury acted, then I think he should win an Oscar,” Usyk said.
During the fight with Ngannou, Fury was knocked down, but won by a split decision.
