Fury's Comments Don't Impact Usyk

Egis Klimas, the manager of WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and Head of Partnership at RTFight, discussed how his athlete reacts to comments from his upcoming opponent. Outspoken WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) has frequently mentioned the Ukrainian in his remarks.

Klimas on Usyk's Response to Fury's Comments:

"I pay no attention to his comments and everything he says. They absolutely do not affect Usyk. He doesn’t even hear when someone talks to him. He doesn't think about it. You can tell him whatever you want, he won’t listen or think about it. Especially when those words come from someone like Tyson Fury," said Klimas.

The showdown between Usyk and Fury is scheduled for May 18 in Saudi Arabia. The WBC has presented an exclusive belt that will be awarded to the winner of the bout.
