"Endurance Over Might: Usyk to Outrun Fury," Claims Klimas

Egis Klimas, the manager of the undefeated heavyweight kingpin Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and a key player at Ready To Fight, tossed in his two cents about how he sees the upcoming rumble between Usyk and Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) playing out:

"Usyk's always got his game face on, taking every match with dead seriousness. We've moved mountains to get this bout on the books. It's Usyk-Fury for the win. I'm betting it won't be a walk in the park. It wouldn't shock me to see Usyk put Fury on the canvas.

Here's why I'm laying my chips down: Usyk's gonna run Fury ragged, then finish him. Fury's bank is bulging; that hunger might've left the building.

Echoing Oscar De La Hoya here, 'It's tough to hit the gym at dawn when you're snoozing on silk with 80 mils in the bank.' Usyk's in it for the glory, the legacy. Sure, the cash will follow, but he's throwing punches for his homeland," Klimas commented.

The scrap for the undisputed heavyweight crown is slated for February 17.
