Manager of Ukrainian fighter Alexander Usik, Egis Klimas, said that the athlete smiled after the news that the fight with the British Tyson Fury will be postponed next. His words are quoted Ring TV.
“Tyson Fury is a fucking coward who will do anything to avoid meeting Usik. He wanted his bitch to hit his eyebrow with a frying pan. You can quote me word for word.
When this news was brought to Alexander he just smiled. That’s all he did. Mentally, he is too strong to break,” Klimas said.
Usik and Fury were scheduled to meet in the Saudi capital Riyadh on February 17, 2024. On February 2, the Englishman suffered a cut above his eye during training, which caused the fight to be postponed.
It was learned that the fight between Alexander Usik and Tyson Fury on March 2, 2023 was interrupted. The fight between these rivals was scheduled for April 2023 and then moved to December. However, later the organizers decided to postpone the fight due to the meeting between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou on October 28, 2023. The Briton then won via split decision.
Usyk had his last fight in Poland on August 26, 2023 and defeated Briton Daniel Dubois.
