"After that, they fly away in a knockout": Fury made harsh remarks because of the fight with Usik

The owner of the World Boxing Council (WBC) belt, Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), expressed his dissatisfaction with the announcement of a fight with Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) before his fight against Francis Ngannou on October 28. The Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, noted that professionals never look behind the back of their closest opponent.

Fury said this in an interview with The MMA Hour. The British boxer emphasized that the decision to announce the historic confrontation with Usyk for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion depended not on him, but on the promoters and organizers of the show.

"It was not my choice. I would never have done it. But the people who organize these fights pay money, they control. They are the promoters of the event. So the cashier essentially does what the cashier wants. But if it were up to me, I would never, never, never do that. You can't announce a second fight until the first one has taken place. Because after that, people get knocked out," Fury said.

Earlier, Fury said he was not interested in the title of absolute world champion. He also issued an ultimatum to Usyk about the upcoming fight, threatening to take him to court. Prior to that, Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) revealed sensational details of Alexander 's fight against Tyson. In addition, the Briton gave his forecast for the historic confrontation between the Ukrainian and his compatriot.

In turn, Fury's manager Spencer Brown spoke about the secret conversation between Tyson and Alexander. The Ukrainian himself commented on the fight against the Briton in an original way, calling his opponent an avatar and questioning one of the terms of the deal.

Oleksandr called Tyson a "pot-bellied hottie " and sent him his regards. The Ukrainian boxer also spoke about the imminent end of his career. And promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk named the condition under which the fight with Fury could be canceled.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, former world champion in two weight categories Timothy Bradley revealed a detail that will make Tyson Fury helpless in a confrontation with Oleksandr Usyk. The Briton himself addressed his rival in one word, answering questions from Ukrainian journalists.
