Fury reacted to Klimas' words
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) has promised to take revenge in a fight with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). The Gypsy King, as the Briton is called, also did not understand why the Ukrainian's manager Egis Klimas compared him to dictator Vladimir Putin.
Fury said this on TNT Sports 2, the Metro website reports. Tyson didn't like that Klimas compared him to the Kremlin leader after the British boxer sent everyone who supports Usyk to hell, to which the Ukrainian champion himself reacted very restrained.
"I know that Usyk's team is a bit upset, they even compared me to Vladimir Putin today. I don't know why. I've always been a bad guy, all my life, and I still am today, at almost 40 years old. But I intend to go into the ring in destruction mode. The last time I went to box him, I was careful. But this time, I'm not going to let it go to the judges' scorecards. I'm going to knock this bastard out," Fury said.
On May 18, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 and became the absolute world heavyweight champion. A month after the fight, the Ukrainian was forced to give up his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt.
Before that, Oleksandr spoke categorically about what would happen if Tyson tried to disrupt the rematch. He also shared his expectations for the second fight with Fury and responded to accusations of cheating during the May 18 fight. In addition, Oleksandr told what he learned from this fight.
The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations from the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the fighters' second fight. In addition, Russian Alexander Povetkin attributed the success of our compatriot to Russia.
In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Alexander. And the Ukrainian named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.
