Wilder speaks out about Usyk vs Fury fight
American Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) admitted that he was not surprised by the disruption of the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and British Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). The Bronze Bomber, as the Alabama native is known, stressed that the world of boxing is incredibly complex and unpredictable.
Wilder said this in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV. He added that the history of boxing knows many cases when the most anticipated fights were never organised, so fans should not believe the talk, but wait for the fighters to enter the ring.
"For me, the boxing business is one of the most difficult because it has no structure, so it can go any way. It has so many loopholes, so many tunnels, so many ways it can go. That's why I'm not surprised that the Usyk-Fury fight failed. As before, we can't be surprised because we've seen so many big fights that we thought were going to happen end up being cancelled. Until you get in the ring and the gong sounds, the fight is not confirmed," said the American former champion.
The day before, Usyk publicly commented on the cancellation of the fight with Fury for the first time. For his part, the promoter of British boxer Anthony Joshua (24-3, 2 KOs), Eddie Hearn, expressed confidence that the Ukrainian's fight against Tyson would take place.
Earlier, the World Boxing Association (WBA) issued an ultimatum to Usyk and Fury and named the British Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) as a mandatory contender for the Ukrainian's championship belt. Our compatriot decided to leave his training camp after the news of the cancellation of the fight with Tyson. And the Briton was literally furious about the cancellation of the fight and showered Oleksandr with insults.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Usyk's promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk revealed the details of negotiations with Tyson Fury and the reason for the cancellation of the historic superfight. And boxing fans have been tearing the Gypsy King apart online. The British promoter threatened the Ukrainian with the loss of his championship belt.
