"We need to feed the Fat One": Usyk makes statement about fight with Fury

Ukrainian unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) expressed confidence that he will definitely fight British boxer Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). Our compatriot stressed that he and his team are doing everything to organise the fight of the giants.

Usyk said this in an interview with the Polish TV channel TVP Sport. He added that he is now focused on defending his belts in a fight against another Briton, Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs), and the fight with Tyson largely depends on financial conditions.

"I think we will wait for the fight with Tyson Fury. What is needed for that? We just need to feed Puzatoy. He's hungry and wants a lot of money. We are now raising money to pay him and beat him. One of my tasks now is to organise a fight with Dubois so that Ukrainians can watch the show in peace. For them, it will be a breath of joy in such a difficult situation," Usyk said.

Earlier, Tyson called Usyk an ugly coward and expressed his readiness to fight the Ukrainian this summer. In addition, he accused the Ukrainian of greed, which led to the disruption of the fight on April 29. And Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn expressed confidence that Fury would not fight until winter.
