"Defending my country": Fury found a strange reason to attack Usyk and got a response from the Ukrainian
Usyk and Fury met in London
The owner of the World Boxing Union (WBC) belt, Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs), unexpectedly criticized Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) for wearing earrings in his ear. The Gypsy King, as the Briton is called, noted that this is what will lead to his victory.
Fury said this during a meeting with Usyk as part of The Gloves Are Off program on TNT Sports. "I know he can't beat me. A man who wears earrings in his ear can never beat Tyson Fury. Never. Not a chance. No one who wears earrings can beat me," the Briton said categorically.
In response, the Ukrainian explained to him that such jewelry was worn by the Cossacks: "These were the people who defended my country from our enemies for many years. It's just a proof of my Cossack ancestry. They never lost to anyone. There is no beauty or fashion in this."
However, Tyson was not satisfied with this answer. "Listen, in Ukraine, it means he's a good fighter, but where I come from, it means he's a girl with an earring," Fury added.
Earlier, former world champion Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) gave his unequivocal forecast for the fight between Alexander and Tyson, and explained why our compatriot will win. He also admitted that he would like Fury to win.
Saudi Arabia made a loud statement about the confrontation between the Ukrainian and the British on February 17. A month before the fight, Riyadh unveiled a special belt that would be awarded to the winner of the confrontation. Its appearance caused outrage among fans.
In addition, the names of the boxers who are helping Alexander prepare for the fight against Tyson have become known. Before that, OBOZ.UA told readers about the connections between the British and Ukraine.
