"The reality is that..." Usyk told what Fury has already won in

Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) expressed confidence that he managed to win the psychological confrontation with Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) on the eve of the fight on February 17. Our compatriot noted that all the chatter of the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, does not affect him.

Usyk said this in a commentary to the iFL TV project, which quotes the Ukrainian on his page on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter. The Ukrainian boxer added that he got into the head of his future opponent, making him nervous on the eve of the historic confrontation for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.

"Tyson Fury is a man who talks a lot. His idea is to get inside my head. But the reality is that I have already gotten into his head," Usyk said.

It should be noted that a video of the boxers' meeting was published online, during which Tyson found a strange reason to run into the Ukrainian, and afterwards the Briton and the Ukrainian shook hands. Fury also named one reason why he respects our champion.
