Usyk's promoter put Fury's team in their place, for calling the Ukrainian a crybaby

Promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk categorically responded to all the critics of Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) who accuse the boxer of not being able to take a punch. In particular, the representative of our champion reacted to the words of his colleague Frank Warren, who called the athlete a crybaby after the incident in the fight against Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs).

In a commentary to Sky Sports, Krasiuk reminded that the British boxer had thrown an illegitimate punch below the belt. In addition, the promoter recalled that Usyk had never fought in Ukraine. He also expressed the hope that Tyson Fury, whose affairs are managed by the same Warren, would not once again avoid a fight against the Ukrainian.

"How can you call Usyk a crybaby? This man won his first title in Poland and never defended it at home in Ukraine. He always came to visit his rivals and destroyed them. Now he's been chasing Tyson Fury for several years, and Fury has refused to take part four times in a row, including two fights in the last six months. Let's pray for Tyson and wait for the guy to get in the ring," said Krasiuk.

Last week, the broadcaster of the Usyk-Fury fight in Ukraine was announced and the cost of the show was determined. Former world champion Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) made his forecast for the fight. Jordan Thompson (15-1, 12 KOs), the sparring partner of the two rivals, also shared his expectations for the duel.

New details of the two fights between Usyk and Fury, including a rematch in October, have also emerged. Tyson himself has already confirmed that he does not intend to refuse fight #2 against the Ukrainian. Oleksandr's team also named a boxer who will replace the Briton if he refuses to enter the ring on May 18.

Former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) has again given a prediction for the Usyk-Fury fight. In addition, Tony Bellew, a former rival of the Ukrainian, evaluated the fight. And the Russian Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 21 KOs) named Oleksandr's weakness.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Oleksandr Usyk's manager Egis Klimas categorically answered the question about the disruption of the fight with Tyson Fury on May 18. Also, the Pope's reaction to the fight between the Ukrainian and the Briton became known.
