Not Fury. Usyk named his most feared opponent

Ukrainian WBA, WBO, IBF and WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) presented his movie "The Way to the Absolute", where he showed fragments of his fights against the British Dereck Chisora (34-13, 23 KOs), Anthony Joshua (28-3, 23 KOs), Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). In the video, the Ukrainian boxer shares his thoughts on faith and criticism, and admits that he is his most feared opponent.

"The path will be overcome by the one who walks, the one who does not stop, the one who passes all obstacles. There are many obstacles before you reach your goal, many stops that want to stop you. There are doubts, uncertainty, and criticism. So you don't have to stop, you just have to keep going and that's it. The most terrible opponent is me!" Usyk is sure.

Oleksandr also recalled his heavyweight performances, during which he constantly heard from many people that he would not succeed.

"I told my boxing fans that when I won all the cruiserweight belts, I would definitely try my hand at heavyweight. Many people told me: "You shouldn't go there. You're not a natural heavyweight. You're too small. You won't succeed." But only those who don't try fail. I will not listen to those who tell me: "Don't do it". I will do it, and I will succeed, because I believe in it," summarized our boxer.
