«Who is the Middleweight Now?» Usyk and Krassyuk on Fury

Today, on May 14, the official arrival of the fighters took place for the bout for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) between the holder of the WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and the WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

Promoter Alexander Krassyuk and Usyk were asked what they thought about Tyson's physical condition, as he has lost weight compared to his previous fight against Francis Ngannou (0-2).

Krassyuk: «Look at this skinny Tyson! And who is the middleweight now? It's all because he's nervous. When you're nervous, you lose weight. Or you gain weight, like his father.»

Usyk: «Does Tyson look smaller? Yeah, a bit. He looks skinny now.»

The bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
