Ignoring the Hype: Usyk Steadfast with Personal Strategy for Fury Fight

WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) has laid down his stance on the mind games of his upcoming rival, WBC heavyweight titleholder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs):

"Tyson Fury? He's not on my radar that much. I don't fixate on his actions or antics, unlike most of his past challengers. What Fury thinks of me doesn't faze me. He might underestimate or overestimate me, but it's all the same to me. I've got my own game plan for him," Usyk declared in a chat with The Ring.

The showdown between Usyk and Fury is set to ignite on February 17 in Saudi Arabia, with the ultimate heavyweight world championship title on the line.
