Fury Recalls Watching Usyk and Klitschko Spar

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) spoke about a sparring session between WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and former unified world champion Wladimir Klitschko.

- Bellew, Chisora, Dubois, Joshua – all Brits defeated by Usyk. You're last in line.

- The best was saved for last.

- Is Oleksandr Usyk vulnerable to body shots?

- No one is immune. Anyone who takes a solid body shot can be hurt. It just needs to hit the right spot. Anyone can be damaged by body or head shots.

There's no one who doesn't get hurt from shots to the head or body. If you take hits, they damage you.

- How is Usyk better than Wladimir Klitschko?

- He's more agile, has better footwork, and uses angles better. I once saw them spar, and Usyk took his head off.

- Really?

- Yes.

- When was this?

- When Klitschko was preparing for a rematch with me, which never happened. He sparred with Usyk, and Usyk took his head off," Fury said.

Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko by decision. That fight was the penultimate in the Ukrainian's career. Fury's meeting with Usyk is scheduled for May 18th in Saudi Arabia.
