Peter Fury, the mentor of kickboxer Rico Verhoeven, commented on the refusal of former world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usik to have a rematch with his ward.

The representative of the Dutch athlete emphasized that they are sympathetic to the Ukrainian’s decision, as they believe that now he can fight anyone he chooses.

“As far as I know from social networks, Usyk will fight Deontay Wilder in his next fight. I don't think he's avoiding Verhoeven. Usik has achieved everything possible in boxing, and he will fight whoever he wants.

Usik is an incredible person. This guy has achieved everything, so maximum respect to him. He is a great champion,” the coach said in an interview with Seconds Out.

Earlier it was reported that Usik named the top three boxers, regardless of category.
