Absolute world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk said that he is not thinking about a rematch with Tyson Fury yet.
"What's going to happen in the rematch? I'm not thinking about boxing at all right now. I'm relaxing - the movie, Los Angeles. I've been preparing for the fight for eight months! I missed my kids' birthdays, missed my daughter's birth and New Year's Eve celebrations. Training camp was 8 months long. I could no longer remember what day or week it was. I would wake up, look at the clock and see 5am there. What am I doing here?
I turned to God. I wasn't asking him for victory, I was asking him to give me the strength to make it to the end. I was training at 5 in the morning, at 12 in the afternoon and at 6 pm," - said Usyk in an interview with 3 Knockdown Rule.
Recall that on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision of judges. The rematch will take place on December 21 there.
