Ahead of an undisputed heavyweight belt fight, Tyson Fury claimed that Oleksandr Usyk wanted what he got, not the other way around.
It is reported that when Usyk left the amateur class, he had a record of 335−15. As a pro, he’s undefeated in a campaign that has seen him collect all the belts in the good cruiser class and only one more way to do the same at heavyweight. .
The man standing in the way is Tyson Fury. Instead of praising his future opponent, Fury downplayed the Ukrainian’s record against Queensberry, and he did it in typical Gypsy King style – reference pants.
“All these people with all this Usyk stuff. What did he have 17, 18, 19 fights? I fought more. I’ve had more knockouts than he’s had fights. I won more belts than there are panties in his closet. I’ve been to more big events than he probably has all the same. And that’s it.
He just wants what I have. They all want what the big GK has. immortality.”

Fury – who currently holds the WBC belt after Usyk’s WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO – confesses to being a master of mind fighting, and many fans will make this latest statement about it.
There’s one thing he’s right about being a knockout, though – and it’s to do with the question of the match that makes the match so compelling. Even though dethroned Anthony Joshuaand beat him again for good reason, many in the sport believed that Fury displayed a body that was too big and too strong for Usyk to do the same in an undisputed fight. .
On the other side of the debate, there are those who say that the Ukrainian’s speed and skill set is unlike anything Fury has ever faced in the ring.
We may just have to wait until March 2023 until all questions are answered and a heavyweight king is crowned. First, Fury vs Derek Chisora on December 3.
