"I would have won if..." The main reason for Fury's defeat of Usyk is named
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) lost to Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) because he was physically unprepared for the fight. The Gypsy King, as the British boxer is called, was unable to build on his success in the middle of the fight on May 18, when he caught the Ukrainian with an uppercut.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with the Boxing King Media YouTube channel by renowned trainer Dominic Ingle, talkSport reports. The specialist, who is considered a guru in the UK, emphasized that Fury would not have lost to Usyk if he had been in better shape.

Fury was putting on a show.
"I think Tyson was physically ready enough. Because there were only two or three rounds in the middle of the fight when he got Usyk on the upper floors, when he put the Ukrainian in a difficult position. It's a matter of maintaining the pace of the fight, you know. Tyson couldn't do that. It means he wasn't ready. Tyson Fury would have beaten Usyk if he was at his best. So I don't believe Fury was physically prepared enough," Ingle said.
