The unified heavyweight champion Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) is doing everything possible to disrupt the unification with the WBC belt holder Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs). So says John Fury – the father of the WBC champion.
He analyzed one of Usyk’s last interviews, in which he talks about plans to quit boxing in the near future. By
opinion John, the Ukrainian is ready to fight anyone, if only not with Tyson, because he understands perfectly well that he has no chance: “I will say this. If we get a chance to fight this beefy Ukrainian middleweight, then we will. We are not interested in him, but in his belts. Tyson will pursue Usyk and beat him mercilessly. He will fry it so well, like no one has ever fried anyone before. And Usyk’s team knows it.”
About the fact that Usyk mentioned Canelo Alvarez in an interview: “It’s just to avoid a fight with Tyson. He just wants to make the most of it before facing the “Gypsy King”. Usyk understands that Tyson will get the belts. So his goal is to fight Canelo first. He knows that in a fight with Fury, there will actually be even more money at stake. Usyk knows that for him the fight with Tyson is a mission impossible. Exactly the same as for Anthony Joshua. The topic will not even pass here with luckypanchemsince Tyson was three times in the same ring with the coolest puncher in the world, Deontay Wilder.
According to John, “Tyson just wants to prove to everyone that he is the #1 heavyweight. He also wants to cement his place in boxing history. Yes, Usyk is small and uncomfortable. But Tyson will pin him in the corner and beat him methodically. Do you think Usyk is stronger than Steve Cunningham? I do not think so. Yes, he managed to drop Tyson, but when the hell was that? He hasn’t been the same fighter for a long time: even bigger, even more experienced, still the same fast hands, fast legs and incredible boxing brains. Tyson needs all the belts. He also needs good scalps for his legacy. So he wants to beat them all now. All fights with tops will take place. Yes, with each of them … “
In the meantime, Usyk went to the front, and his side confirms that they are ready for Fury in February. In the same way, everything goes according to the plan of the British.
