Usyk shared his expectations for the fight with Fury

WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO super heavyweight title holder, Oleksandr Usyk, shared his expectations for a unification fight with WBC champion, Tyson Fury.

"I need this fight, that's all. I think he needs it too. This fight is very important for both of us. I'm not afraid of Tyson Fury. It will be like any other fight. He's just a big man with a WBC belt who has never lost before. In fact, this is an ordinary fight for the right to win all the belts. If a person is bigger than me, it does not mean that he is stronger than me. If they have longer arms, it does not mean that it’s an advantage. I have been boxing since I was 15 years old. They kept telling me I shouldn't box. I was told that I was not going to be an Olympic champion or a world champion and that I should not have moved up to super heavyweight. But these were the thoughts of people who could not do it themselves. Personally, I continue to pray and move forward" - said Oleksandr.Александр Усик - Тайсон Фьюри: украинец обещает «красиво побить» британцаFury and Usyk plan to fight face-to-face for the title of absolute world champion on April 29th in London at Wembley Stadium.
