British WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) in an interview with a magazine correspondent
The Ring explained why he called the owner of all other belts of the division Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) a “shit”.
“Why is he a “shit”? The champion smiled. Because he acts like a jerk. And in his performance there was a purely shitty maneuver – to challenge a person to a fight, and then turn on the back. Where I come from, this is not accepted. And his line about how he prepared for the fight with Joshua for six months? .. I spent my whole life in boxing, but I never heard of a 6-month training camp. He says he got injured in the fight with Joshua? Still, if you have 6 months to prepare, then there is nothing surprising in this.
According to Fury, “I really ended my career, but soon returned to boxing, because I just got bored. Yes, I spent 5 months outside the ring and changed my mind. I know no one will believe me anyway. But I would easily pass any polygraph test.”
Upon learning that Usyk was unavailable until the end of the year, Fury directly challenged Joshua. He, without thinking twice, gave the go-ahead. The champion has even told how much he will pay his opponent.
