Usik named his main advantage over Fury

WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight title holder Alexander Usik believes he can beat the WBC world champion Tyson Fury due to his enormous motivation.

“He’s big, he’s complex, he’s strong. But I'm a little smaller, I'm incredibly motivated and I'm hungry for boxing. I am not motivated by money. I am not motivated by material things. I care about the path I'm on. I've been going towards this for 20 years.

I think there will be a gong in February. We will box for the legacy of this century. So we are all waiting for a battle between the little guy – the winner – and the big guy,” Usyk said in an interview with Beanyman Sport.

Earlier it became known that the fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will take place on February 18 or 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
