"Worked on This for 9 Months": Usyk on Preparing for Fury

Two-time undisputed champion and co-founder of Ready To Fight, Oleksandr Usyk, shared some details about his preparation for the first fight against Tyson Fury.

"Causing damage to Fury early in the fight was a planned move that I worked on for 9 months. It was essential to show him right away who is in charge in the ring. That’s what I practiced.

I have a coach and a corner team who tell me how to move. I have to stick to the plan, even if other ideas pop into my head. I must stick to my strategy," Usyk said.

Usyk defeated Fury by decision. The rematch is scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia.
