Usyk's team names main problem in preparing for fight with Fury
The team of Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) will have a hard time finding sparring partners for the Ukrainian boxer to prepare for the fight against Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). This is the main difficulty in the training camp of our champion, who will enter the ring with the Briton on February 17.
This was stated by Usyk's manager Egis Klimas in an interview with Boxing Talk. According to him, the Ukrainian champion has already started training for the historic fight for all four belts of the elite division. The representative of our boxer emphasized that the fight against Tyson will be the most difficult fight of his career.

"It will not be easy to find sparring partners because Tyson Fury is very tall, with a big arm swing, he has a very clumsy style and he is heavy, so this will be the biggest problem. But I have no doubt that Oleksandr will win. The factors will be his footwork, intelligence, boxing IQ. I wouldn't even say that Fury has more power. He has a lot of weight and piles on his opponents. That's how he wears them down. But it won't be easy to beat Oleksandr," Klimas said.
