WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk spoke about a possible fight with WBC title holder Tyson Fury. According to the Ukrainian boxer, his fight with the “Gypsy King” will still be possible to organize, but now the parties are not negotiating. \? As for the fight with Tyson Fury, I can’t say anything yet: at the moment, the fight is not planned, since the negotiations, let’s say, are at an impasse. As far as I know, Wilder and Joshua will fight at the end of this year, but the details of the contract are being discussed within their teams, so there are no specific comments either.. Who will win, Wilder or Joshua? Everyone has their own potential. For Wilder, a knockout bet. Joshua is a very technical boxer and also with a knockout punch. But it is impossible to talk about the advantage of any boxer: victory in the ring depends on many factors.. For Fury, boxing is not only a sport, but also a show. And there is another factor - money.. He talks about them all the time and voices some crazy amounts that he wants to get for the fight.. I believe that all his loud statements are the height of passions.. Without it, nowhere. So why should he be afraid He is a professional athlete. And even if he loses, he will take his. It's no secret that fees are prescribed for both parties.. If he wants to draw intrigue, his right, but no one will run after him or make concessions. The fight will take place sooner or later. And everything will be decided in the ring. How do I assess the work of Alexander Krasyuk, which he carried out during the negotiation process? The negotiation process proceeded as it always does.. There was nothing unique. The only question is Tyson Fury. Holding on to the WBC belt and setting up unacceptable fight conditions in order to be rejected in advance is much more important to him than playing a fair game in favor of the boxing industry and the fans waiting for this fight. Fury is a big man who has very good abilities in boxing and in life… but this big man is very afraid of losing,” Usyk said in an interview with vRINGe.. com. Recall that on April 29, Usyk and Fury were supposed to fight for the title of absolute world champion, but the parties could not agree on the terms of the contract for the fight, which is why it was canceled. After the cancellation of the fight with the “Gypsy King”, the Ukrainian team began negotiations for a fight with the mandatory contender for the WBA title Briton Daniel Dubois. On April 3, the WBA officially sanctioned the Usyk-Dubois fight..
