WBC heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury spoke about his attitude towards his closest rival, WBA, WBO and IBF belt holder Oleksandr Usyk.
"Do I respect Usik? Of course. Usik is the best opponent in my career. Better than Klitschko, Wilder, White, Chisora, better than anyone. He's a two-time world champion, an Olympic champion. That says it all.
He completely destroyed Anthony Joshua, who was called a hit man before fighting Usik. With the rest of the opponents, Alexander also looked great. For example, beat Dubois, who is only 25 years old", - said Fury in an interview with Box Nation.
Recall that Fury and Usik will fight on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
