On May 18th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the battle for the absolute world championship title in the heavyweight division (over 90.7 kg) will feature WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) against WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).
In an interview with TNT Sports Boxing, Tyson jokingly mentioned that there would be no issue inviting Usyk for a beer in Morecambe, his hometown.
"He seems to be a decent fella. He is a god fearing man who has little kids of his own. What more can you do? I can imagine us sinking 10 pints apiece as he seems like that type of character. We have got to spend our money from Saudi on something," Fury stated.
