"My body is telling me..." Usyk made a confession before the rematch with Fury

Unified super-bantamweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) admitted that every fight in the king's division is not easy for him. On the eve of his rematch with Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), the Ukrainian boxer emphasized that he loses to many opponents in size, but he knows how to level this advantage of his opponents.

Usyk said this on the air of the DAZN video platform. Usyk emphasized that after the first confrontation, he and Fury had studied each other well and clearly faced the toughest fight of their careers, and now they are preparing to give the fans an even brighter fight.

"Tyson knows what I do and I know what Tyson does, it's going to be a different fight. I think he's my strongest opponent. I have a lot of respect for all my opponents because it's boxing, it's a tough sport. It's a very dangerous sport. This guy is very famous all over the world, he is a big man, and I am a small man. But we have a second fight. Again, boxing is a hard sport. When I come home, my body tells me not to do it again," Usyk said.

Over the weekend, an epic promo for the rematch between Usyk and Fury was released. It has already been called a disgrace to American boxing companies.

It should be noted that before the rematch, a strange situation occurred when bookmakers lowered the Ukrainian's chances of success. At the same time, experts continue to insist that Usyk will win again. For example, veteran Dereck Chisora noted that Fury has virtually no chance of revenge. And British promoter Ben Shalom simply gave up on Tyson and his ability to beat the Ukrainian.
