Fury called Usyk a "sexy beast" and made the Ukrainian laugh
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) spoke out in an original way about the new image of Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). On the eve of the rematch, our compatriot decided to shave his head, and at the first press conference before the fight on December 21, he came in the image of the computer game hero Hitman.
On the air of the DAZN video platform, Fury praised his opponent's style, which made our compatriot laugh during a meeting after the first fight. The Gypsy King, as the British boxer is called, emphasized that the new hairstyle suits Usyk very well.
"He looks like a sexy beast. It looks good on him. The bald haircut suits him. He looks sexy," Fury said with a smile on his face.
Over the weekend, an epic promotional video of the rematch between Usyk and Fury was released. It has already been called a disgrace to American boxing companies.
It should be noted that before the rematch, a strange situation occurred when bookmakers lowered the Ukrainian's chances of success. At the same time, experts continue to insist that Usyk will win again. For example, veteran Dereck Chisora noted that Fury has virtually no chance of revenge. And British promoter Ben Shalom simply gave up on Tyson and his ability to beat the Ukrainian.
Earlier it became known that Tyson wants to organize a trilogy with Oleksandr to make boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.
In the first fight, Oleksandr defeated Tyson by split decision - 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 - and unified all the super-heavyweight belts.
Our compatriot also shared his expectations for the second fight with Fury and responded to accusations of cheating during the May 18 fight. In addition, the Ukrainian told what he learned from this fight.
The legendary Volodymyr Klychko shared his expectations from the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the fighters' repeat.
In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr. And the Ukrainian himself named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.
In addition, Anthony Joshua answered the question of who he would like to see win the rematch between Usyk and Fury. After that, he named the winner of the rematch. Tyson himself voiced his motivation for the second fight against our compatriot.
