Usyk: «I Won’t Drink Beer with Fury»

WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) responded to his next opponent, WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs), who mentioned that he wants to have a beer with Usyk after their fight.

«How will I beat Tyson Fury? Beautifully, stunningly. It will be a great fight because he’s a great person. That’s really true. He’s big, smart, cunning: ‘Oh, after the fight we need to have a beer, blah blah blah.’ I won’t drink beer with Tyson Fury… Maybe wine,» joked Usyk.

Earlier, Fury mentioned that he wouldn’t have any problems inviting Usyk for a beer in Morecambe, the British fighter's hometown.

The bout for the undisputed world heavyweight championship between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
