"One more time": Usyk's confession after defeating Fury in a rematch revealed
Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) admitted that immediately after his victory in the rematch with Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs), he could have had another fight that evening. According to our compatriot, the second fight against the Gypsy King, as the Briton is called, was easier than the first.
This was stated by former light heavyweight world champion Sergey Kovalev (35-5-1, 29 KOs) in an interview with Seconds Out YouTube channel. The Russian noted that his manager, Aegis Klimas, who also handles Usyk's affairs, shared his conversation with the Ukrainian after the fight against Fury.
"Usyk and I have the same manager, Aegis Klimas. He told me that after the fight Usyk confessed to him: "Listen, I can easily fight again tonight." In the first fight with Fury, yes, he was tired, but in the second fight it was much easier," Kovalev said.
As a reminder, Usyk vs. Fury 2 ended with the Ukrainian boxer winning a unanimous decision with a score of 116-112 three times. In addition, it became known what result was recorded by artificial intelligence. This angered Tyson, who called himself the strongest with a difference of at least three rounds. After the fight, he was "disqualified".
Former champion Anthony Joshua gave his version of the rounds. And the legendary Lennox Lewis admitted that he was not impressed by the fight.
In addition, promoter Eddie Hearn disputed the score of the rematch between Usyk and Fury. In turn, the British media learned what Tyson was told before the 12th round of the fight.
At the same time, impressive statistics of the opponents' punches in the fight were published. A photo showed what Fury's face looked like after 100 missed punches from Usyk.
After the victory, the Ukrainian boxer decided on his next opponent and also made a confession about the rematch with Tyson.
Paris Fury's reaction was also caught on camera when Oleksandr was announced as the winner of the rematch with Tyson. In addition, the fight was featured in a famous cartoon. And in Russia, fake words of the British about Volodymyr Zelenskyy began to spread. The Ukrainian was suspended from boxing.
