Former world heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) British Frank Bruno
interview commented on the desire of his compatriot, WBC title holder Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) to end his sports career to the local media.
Frank also expressed his opinion about the rematch between the unified champion from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and ex-champion from Britain Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) and expressed the thesis about the result of a possible duel between Joshua and Tyson Fury.
Tyson Fury announced his retirement from the sport after defeating Dillian Whyte. Do you think he will remain retired?
I don’t think he will leave. The best thing is to get back to the gym and start training. You have to be realistic about things and clear out the entire division, which I think he can do.
– He talked about leaving even before the fight with Whyte, and then after. But I think a lot of us don’t believe it.
“If Anthony Joshua wins, whoever he fights next… If he says he wants to fight for a million, two, three, with a top cap of a billion, it will be a very big fight.
– Do you believe that Anthony Joshua can beat Oleksandr Usyk, who beat him last time in September?
“I still can’t figure out how to beat him. Can’t tell you how to beat him. Anthony left open questions – can he take a hit?

– Do you think Joshua can beat Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch?
If he puts it all together. He has power, he has speed, he has hunger – he wants to beat him. But Usyk is very, very good. I saw him beat another heavyweight. I don’t know if he is Russian or Polish. Where is he from?
Oleksandr Usyk is Ukrainian.
— Ukrainian, yes. He is a good fighter, but he is not a natural heavyweight. If Joshua connects everything together, he will defeat him.
Are you still optimistic that we will see a fight between Joshua and Fury?
He will earn a lot of money. Money always rules boxing. This is a big fight. Tyson will bring a lot to the table. And Joshua is in a bind right now, and he wants the belts back, and he got beat up. I think Joshua is more likely to win the next Olympics than Tyson Fury.
