Datsyk distinguished himself by lying about the fight between Usyk and Fury

Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Vyacheslav Datsik spoke disparagingly about the fight between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The MMA representative called the May 18 fight pornography, for which he was harshly ridiculed by fans.

"Did you watch the fight? It was not interesting. I assumed it would be pornography. From the guys' words, I realized that there was. Will I be rooting for Fury in the rematch? He's already sold the fight. What's the point in rooting for someone? I'm not interested in this pornography," Datsyk told the propaganda channel Match TV.

"And what about the Datsyk-Yemelianenko fight?", "But to stand up to Dzhigurda for 10 rounds and not fly away from Berkova is a good thing", "Datsyk is interested in participating in fake fights named after Khryunov. To get a penny before we forget," "Slava, what do you do?", "Recognize the merits of the absolute champion, you won't even dream of this title," people write in the comments.

Fury has already decided on a rematch. However, the title of absolute world champion will not be at stake, as Usyk will be stripped of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt by June 1. This decision angered the British Tony Bellew. Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs) will fight for the title.
