Respect for Usyk
The promoter of the “Gypsy King” Frank Warren shared his expectations from the fight. He assessed the boxing legacy of Oleksandr Usik and talked about whether Tyson Fury’s mind games and constant trash talk could influence the Ukrainian champion.
Usyk is a difficult opponent. He is undefeated as a professional and has a flawless amateur and professional career. I don’t think you can beat him with mind games. I don’t think he’s stupid enough to fall for it
Warren said.
Despite this, the 72-year-old promoter believes in the victory of his boxer and named the scenario that he wants to see in the ring:
“When the first bell rings, the fight will depend on who controls the situation and who imposes his style. That’s what Tyson needs to do – impose his style. I think he can do that, and I like to think that it will looks like his second fight with Deontay Wilder. That’s how I’d like it to go.”
We are talking about a fight in Las Vegas, which took place on February 22, 2020. Fury started that fight actively, seizing the initiative, and already in the third round Wilder was knocked down. The Briton continued to dominate after that and won by technical knockout in the seventh round. That defeat was the first for the “Bronze Bomber” at the professional level; before that, he had made 10 successful title defenses.
Let us remind you that the day before Tony Bellew gave his forecast for the overall fight. He believes that Tyson Fury’s style is convenient for Oleksandr Usik and said that the Ukrainian will win on points.
