Usyk: "I Think Fury Has Bipolar Disorder"

Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), holder of the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO heavyweight titles (over 90,7 kg), commented on the behavior of his next opponent, WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

– Fury called you a coward, a middleweight, a rabbit. Now he respects you. Why did he change his behavior?

– I think Tyson has bipolar disorder. One day he says I'm a rabbit, that I'm bad, a light heavyweight. The next week, he says I'm a good boxer, says many good things about me.

I don't think about it. I'm focused only on the fight.

– What is your prediction for the fight?

– I have no prediction because I am not an expert, I am just a sportsman. A good fight, a good victory. The guy from Ukraine, Oleksandr "The Cat" Usyk – the absolute world champion.

The fight for the undisputed heavyweight world championship between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is scheduled for May 18th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Recently, there was a conflict between the teams of Usyk and Fury. John Fury headbutted Stanislav Stepchuk, but eventually, he himself ended up with a cut forehead.
