On May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the first time since 1999, there will be a fight for the undisputed world heavyweight championship (over 90.7 kg) between WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).
Italian boxer and Usyk’s sparring partner Giovanni Scuderi (10-0, 4 KOs) shared his experience in the Ukrainian's training camp.
«From sparring with Usyk, I learned that if you want to be special, your mind has to be stronger than your body. Oleksandr is definitely a special fighter, I’ve never seen a boxer with such a strong mind and discipline.
We spent about 50-60 rounds sparring in the ring. In the camp, everyone was like a big family, where each person had their own special role,» said Scuderi.
