WBC super heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury shared his opinion about WBA, WBO and IBF belt holder Oleksandr Usyk.
The long-awaited bout between the Briton and the Ukrainian will take place on 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"I don't have any animosity towards the fighters I've fought or will fight in the future. Usik seems to be a decent guy. He's a God-fearing man who has young children. What else is there to do? I can envision us having 10 beers each because he seems like that kind of character. We need to spend the Saudi money on something," Yahoo News quoted Fury as saying.
Ukrainian lightweight Denis Berinchyk (18-0, 9 KOs) said at the expense of what WBA, WBO and IBF world champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) will win over WBC belt holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) in the upcoming fight.
"Will win with his humility. He will enter the ring clear and cold-blooded. Like a samurai. He'll do his job. And he probably like a samurai - he has no goal, only a path. And this path he will pass", - said Berinchik.
Recall that the fight Usik - Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. On the same day, but in San Diego, USA, Berinchik will fight for the vacant WBO belt with Mexican Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs).
Former unified heavyweight world champion Andy Ruiz has shared his thoughts on which of the heavyweight leaders would be his biggest challenge - Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua.
"I'd like to fight all of them, but I think the toughest would be ... Probably Tyson Fury. I think so. It's hard to say because everybody has a plan until they get in the ring and do their thing. And if it doesn't work, what do you do? You need to change your plan for the fight. That's why I once said: "The hardest thing you can do in boxing is to go down or get hurt and then get back up and win, find a way to win." I think I've done that before," the Mexican said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
As a reminder, Ruiz will fight against Jarrell Miller on August 3 in Los Angeles, USA.
Former unified heavyweight world champion Andy Ruiz shared his expectations of the upcoming fight for all belts in the division between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
The Ukrainian and the Briton will fight on May 18 in the main event of an evening of boxing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"This fight can turn out either way. It's just like the Deontay Wilder - Zhang Zhilei fight here. I think if Usik is active, throws combinations, stays at close range and does what he has to do, he can win," Ruiz said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
Sergey Lapin, sports director of the team of the world heavyweight champion WBA, WBO, IBF Oleksandr Usyk, spoke out about the "cross-section" of Tyson Fury, the WBC world champion, because of which their fight with Usyk was postponed from February 17 to May 18.
"There were really many versions. One of them is that the 'section' could have been made surgically. But again there is no proof of this. Anyway, I hope Fury realizes that these games are definitely not good for him. And Oleksandr Usyk is the end of his career!" - quotes the functionary "Champion".
