Former world champion in the first heavyweight Mairis Briedis commented on the victory of Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch with Tyson Fury.
"I watched the fight. Basically, everything was clear when Usyk came out to box with Fury. It was obvious that Fury was not confident, scared, because the psychology worked - he lost for the first time. No matter how you look at it, it was roughly the same as with Joshua. In fact, this fight can be considered from all sides: psychology, philosophy, physiology.
At one time, the Klitschko brothers were. Everyone knew what they were doing: jab, jab, jab, right throws. It was the same here: Usyk did the same thing he did with Joshua, what he did in the first fight. He kept doing the pendulum and going behind his opponent's left hand. He was going into that depth, because you see for yourself that Fury is a tall guy," said Briedis in an interview with YouTube channel "Victor Yalymov Boxing Studio".
Recall that on December 21 Usyk defeated Fury in a rematch by unanimous decision of the judges (116-112, 116-112, 116-112).
