Khabib cheered for Usyk in his fight with Fury

Alexandr Ormanji May 27, 2024, 9:53 a.m.

Javier Mendes, Khabib Nurmagomedov's former trainer, spoke out about Oleksandr Usyk's recent fight with Tyson Fury.

I was rooting for Usyk. It was a very competitive fight. One of those fights when nothing is clear until the end. Tyson was in the game until the final bell. First Usyk was leading, then Fury added to it, and only after the knockdown in the 9th round the fight went in Usyk's favor. Knockdown in the ninth round? Khabib was very happy. Khabib believed in Usyk, but when Fury started punching Usyk's body in the middle of the fight, Khabib said: "Uh-oh." After the fight Khabib simply said that it was a fantastic fight," - said the specialist.

Recall, Usyk won from Fury by a split decision of judges.
