"I'd like to see this cabinet fall!" What Fury is capable of in a fight with Usyk and how the fight will affect the Ukrainian's career, the country's best ring announcer told us
The most famous ring announcer in Ukraine, Serhiy Bryl, believes that on December 21 in the fight for the WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight championships between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), the winner will be announced by the judges' notes. Although he would really like to see the Englishman fall. In addition, Usyk impresses Serhiy as a person.
In a commentary to OBOZ.UA, Bryl admitted that he is most interested in big fights, noted the importance of Usyk and his atamanship for Ukraine, and what to expect from the rematch in Saudi Arabia.
"I always like boxers' statements before a fight. Because as far as the sporting component is concerned, everything is obvious to me. I don't think Tyson Fury can change anything very radically. Because Sasha is more intelligent, faster, he can show what few people can do, set the pace higher and higher with each round," says Serhiy.
"As for the words that boxers say before a fight, I really like this one. Sasha impresses me as a person, as a leader. For example, his recent messages on his social media to people. He said: "Hey, Sich!" And I was waiting for this, because I believe that the Ukrainian state, our country, needs such leaders. Because this system that exists now does not meet expectations. It is an irresponsible system. That's why such an atamanship, where there is personal responsibility to Sich, to the Maidan, is very impressive," the famous ring announcer admits.
Serhiy Bryl notes Usyk as a person who had a very iconic idol: "Sashko's reference point is Muhammad Ali. He is also a great, outstanding figure. A man who fought against the system, fought against the Vietnam War, fought against racism. That's what I'm interested in, all the words that will be said."
"I believe that any strong personality, and I consider Sashko a very strong personality and very important for Ukraine at this time, has teachers. They are also strong personalities. Let them be different, of course, on the other side. Tyson Fury is also a very big figure. In every sense. You can see that his God, his family, his country are also behind him. This inspires respect," Bryl said.
As for the course of the fight on December 21, Serhiy believes that the fight will last the full distance - all 12 rounds allotted - and will end in favor of the Ukrainian. Although, of course, the ring announcer would like to see a knockout by Usyk.
"Oh, I would really like to see the cabinet fall. This one is healthy. Predictions are such a thankless task, as they say. But my prediction is that it will be the whole distance again. Although there is a desire to see Tyson Fury fall. And fall loudly, because the bigger the cabinet, the louder it falls," Bryl smiled.
We also asked the top sports entertainer how interested Usyk will be in staying in boxing, and in particular in the super heavyweight division, when he has already defeated the strongest, and some even twice, if everything goes according to his plan?
"Any person who reaches such heights has ambitious plans to go further. Not even plans. They already have a path that they follow. They understand that if they have a goal, if they have faith in God, if they have experience of achieving such cooperation with God, they can achieve anything," Serhiy summarized.
Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that Usyk climbed into the cockpit of the plane and refused to come down when Fury arrived.
