Peter Fury: "Usik is a good boxer and a very good person"

Peter Fury, uncle and former trainer of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has spoken out about the Briton's upcoming fight against WBA, WBO and IBF titleholder Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

"I think Usik is a good boxer, he is technical. What can I say, he's a gold medalist in the amateurs, an absolute champion in the cruiserweight division. Now he's the heavyweight champion. Usik is a good fighter, and more than that, he is a very good person. He represents the super heavyweight division very well.

I think it's going to be a great fight. You can't hide in the ring. Let the best man win," - quotes Peter Fury talkSPORT.

Recall that the fight between Fury and Usik will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
