Makhmudov: "In the fight with Fury, Usyk showed how brave a guy he is"

Dagestan super featherweight Arslanbek Makhmudov, who competes for Canada, praised the division's outright champion Oleksandr Usyk for his win over Tyson Fury.

"Usyk did a very good job and impressed the world. Alexander showed how brave a guy he is. To be honest, he was losing as the fight went on, but in the second half he started attacking and acting more.

In the end, I think he deservedly won. I think this guy has good boxing skills, he wanted to win more than Fury. That's why he beat Tyson," - said Makhmudov in an interview with WBN.

Recall that on May 18, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision of judges and united in his hands all belts in the heavyweight division.
