– What do you think about today’s Tyson fight?
“I think Tyson fought great and Derek also put in a great performance. It was difficult with him. Good luck to him now because he is a great warrior in the ring.
– I talked to you before, and you hinted that you want Tyson to leave the sport. He clearly showed no sign of it.
Tyson was supposed to leave, but he didn’t. From the first day he said it, I saw that it was not true. So I just let him live his dream and do what he does best.
– How does his life as an active fighter differ from his free life from sports?
He is a happier person when he fights. Tyson is only happiest when he trains for a fight and goes against the world. He needs trials, and while he enjoys, he wants to do it. I will support him, as I said, constantly.
– With whom would you like to see him fight next year: with Alexander Usyk, Joe Joyce or Anthony Joshua?
– With Usyk. I think he deserved a fight for the absolute champion. With Joe Joyce for a challenge, for being a fighter, for boxing fans. And with Joshua for the British boxing fans. Just because it always had to happen. So they equally have their fair share and will be great fights.
– And if you could choose one?
– Usyk to win the title of absolute champion.
Do you think we will see a fight against Anthony Joshua?
– Personally, I don’t. I’ve always doubted it. I still don’t think they will get together because by the time the unification fight takes place, people will be demanding their fights. Joshua will be way down the list.
