"I see you for the first time" The former world champion met Usyk and was impressed by his condition three weeks after the fight with Fury. Video
Former world champion in three weight categories Amir Khan was surprised by the physical form of Ukrainian WBC, WBO, WBA, and IBO titles holder Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs). The Ukrainian heavyweight arrived in London for the award ceremony from The Ring magazine, which will take place on January 11.
Khan crossed paths with our boxer in the hotel lobby and conducted a short interview with him. The following dialog took place between the celebrities:
– Guys, I have the champion here! What do you say, brother, how are you?
– I'm doing great.
– Honestly, I have to say, today is the first time I've seen you have a belly. Such an insatiable belly!
– Yes, today I weigh over 110 kilograms.
– Really? But listen, it was a great fight last time, a lot of respect, you're a legend!
– Thank you, brother.
– By the way, who do you want to fight next?
– I don't know yet. Now I want to relax and enjoy life.
– Yes, yes, how are the kids?
– Everything is fine. My baby is fine, my daughter is fine. Everything is fine. Now my team is working [on organizing a new fight], and I'm resting.
As OBOZ.UA previously reported, at the official weigh-in ceremony, which took place in Riyadh the day before the rematch with Fury, Usyk weighed 102.5 kg. For Oleksandr, this was the highest weight in his professional career.
We would like to remind you that on the night of Sunday, December 22, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury for the second time and defended his titles. The seventh fight of the Ukrainian in the super-heavyweight division ended with a victory on points 116:112, 116:112, 116:112.
When the Ukrainian was announced the winner, Fury's wife's reaction was caught on camera. In addition, the fight was featured in a famous cartoon. And in Russia, they started spreading fake words about Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian was suspended from boxing.
A few days later, the video of the fight was blocked following a complaint from the European Football Union (UEFA), which claimed that it violated copyright law.
In addition, there are theories as to why Usyk wore an upside-down Ukrainian flag in his rematch with Fury.
It should be noted that immediately after the fight, a video appeared of what Fury wrote on the flag of Ukraine after his defeat by Usyk.
