"I didn't see many things on TV": Usyk tells what happened in his first fight with Fury

Former world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) gained important experience in the fight with Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) that he will be able to use in the rematch. Our boxer saw a lot of important things that remain invisible during the analysis of fights on TV.

Usyk himself told about this in an interview with Ready to Fight, according to the Ukrainian champion's official Telegram channel. The Ukrainian demonstrated that he really enjoyed the fight on May 18, when he managed to unravel all of his opponent's plans, winning by a separate decision of the judges.

"In the fight with Tyson Fury, I learned a lot about him. Many of the things I saw in the fight with him, I didn't see on TV when I watched all of Tyson Fury's fights," Usyk said.

A month after the fight on May 18, the Ukrainian was forced to give up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt, for which Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs) will fight on September 21.

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. Fury and Usyk will rematch on December 21. The fantastic prize money for the second fight is already known.

Our compatriot shared his expectations from the second fight with Tyson and responded to accusations of fraud during the fight with Fury on May 18. In addition, Oleksandr commented on the injury he received in the fight.

The Ukrainian announced his radical plan to continue his career after the rematch with Tyson. Usyk named the most difficult moment of the fight with the Briton. Our boxer also spoke frankly about his opponent. Coach Sergey Lapin told us what he expects from his fighter' s rematch with the Briton.

In addition, Russian Alexander Povetkin attributed the success of our compatriot to Russia. And former world champion Carl Froch called Usyk's title, which will be fought by Joshua and Dubois, a paper title.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Russian boxing coach Andrey Ivichuk called Tyson Fury the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. And the Ukrainian named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.
