"I want Usyk to give him a beating." Coach talks about the fight between Oleksandr and Fury

American coach Robert Garcia revealed who he'll be servering for in the bout for the undisputed heavyweight world title between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury:

"I want Usyk to beat Fury because of his last performance, as Tyson showed disrespect to boxing. Fury was completely out of shape. Many think he lost. In my opinion, Fury won, but he needed to dominate Ngannou.

I don't want to say anything bad about MMA fighters, but when they face my boxers, they realize it's an easy fight. That's how it goes in boxing – many MMA fighters want to transition, and fights with them are easy for us.

This time Fury took the fight so lightly that he didn't even train and showed disrespect to boxing. So, I want Usyk to give him a beating. But when Tyson is in shape, he's a dangerous guy," said Garcia.

The Usyk vs. Fury bout is scheduled for February 17 in Saudi Arabia.
