Absolute world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk admitted that he experienced serious difficulties after missing uppercuts from Tyson Fury in the 6th round of the megafight.

"Did I make adjustments after Fury's uppercuts? Probably. When I missed the uppercut, it hurt a lot. I felt a sharp pain for maybe five seconds and I said: "God, help me." I said to myself, 'Hey Alexander, move, move, move, because if you stop he's going to kill you.' Move," - stated Usyk on the podcast 3 Knockdown Rule.

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