Ukrainian light heavyweight (up to 79.4 kg) Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) commented on the upcoming fight between the holder of the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles in the heavyweight division (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).
On Fury's significantly reduced social media activity in the lead-up to May 18 compared to February 17 preparations:
It's an interesting observation, but really, it doesn't prove anything one way or the other (then and now). However, it makes you believe that this time we will definitely see the fight!
On the photos of Tyson's current form:
I think, at least, it shows that he has thoroughly prepared for this fight.
On Usyk starting his preparation for Fury as early as September 2023:
Sasha is a great professional. But it seems to me that such a 'marathon' will impact him well. I think he understands where he needed to dial down and where to rest entirely. Therefore, I think we will see the best version of Sasha.
On Oleksandr's strengths in the fight with Tyson:
Footwork, fast combinations, and defense, which will cause Fury to miss a lot.
The fight for the first undisputed heavyweight title since 1999 between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury is set for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. On June 15 in Las Vegas, USA, Oleksandr Gvozdyk will face David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs).
