"I don't care": Usik answered a question about the fight with Fury

Unified heavyweight champion Alexander Usik (20-0, 13 KOs) is determined to fight Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) of Great Britain. At that our compatriot noted that he is not interested in statements of the Gypsy King, as the native of Manchester is called, who is just insulting his opponent.

This was stated by Usik in an interview with the Polish edition of Super Express. Alexander added that Fury is great at stirring up interest in his fights. The Ukrainian said that he's looking forward to fighting Tyson and defining the outright heavyweight champion of the world.

"If I could get inside other people's heads, I'd work a little bit in a different direction. I think Tyson Fury is a good showman who does both good and bad things. Maybe he's stalling, maybe he's PR'ing this fight. I just have to fight him, that's all. I don't think about what he says, what he thinks. I don't care what he thinks about me. I need a duel with him. That's all," Usik said.

Earlier, promoter Alexander Krasiuk said that Fury will receive an offer to fight Usik in the near future. The Ukrainian himself is scheduled for a mandatory defense on August 26 against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs).

Also, it is known that Saudi Arabia intends to organize Usik vs. Fury and Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) - Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) fights on the same night in December. The media has published the boxers' fees for the big show. That said, Anthony has already confirmed his fight against Deontay.

Earlier, Tyson called Usik an ugly coward and expressed his readiness to fight the Ukrainian already in the 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 won't fight until the winter.

At a press conference in Tenerife, Tyson Fury recently noted a boorish prank against Alexander Usik. He also promised to destroy the Ukrainian champion.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, Alexander Usik said that he was going to arrange a fight with Tyson Fury. Also, the Ukrainian boxer accused his British rival of lying, and then suddenly turned to the Gypsy King. In response, the Gypsy King's team noted that Usik is only interested in money.
