Usyk speaks about the second fight with Fury

Former world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) does not think it will be easier for him in his rematch with Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). Our compatriot noted that he is preparing for the toughest fight of his career and is preparing for the worst that can happen in the ring.

Usyk said this in an interview with the Mail Sport Boxing YouTube channel. The 37-year-old boxer also added that he didn't want the second fight against Fury to be easy, because in that case he wouldn't be able to make progress in his skills and abilities.

"No, it won't be easier. Look, I always prepare for the worst. I never tune in to the fact that it's going to be easy. I tune in to the fact that it will be some kind of space that will crush me so that my eyes can barely see what is happening. I don't think it will be easy. But I don't need it to. Because you can't find diamonds in ease. Because they are not there. You can't succeed without hard work," Usyk said.

Fury and Usyk will rematch on December 21. We already know the fantastic prize money for the second fight. A few weeks ago, our compatriot gave up the belt of the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and lost the title of absolute world champion.

Later it became known that the IBF left Usyk no choice. This situation angered the head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White. The Ukrainian himself commented on his decision for the first time.
