John Fury, father of the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, warned his son before a fight with Alexander Usik, who is the world champion according to WBA, WBO, IBF.
“Tyson is taking more punches now than in his entire career. And this could shorten his career. This is what worries us. Usyk is cunning, and you need to make every effort to defeat him. But the style that Tyson has now will not help him. He has the belief in his head that he can knock out anyone. But no fighter in the world can continue to take such blows. You need to be smart. To defeat Usyk, you need more brains than strength,” Fury Sr. said.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Fury and Usyk will take place on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.
