Russian media claim Usyk drove Fury to depression

The incident with the former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), who was seen drunk after his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), caused a serious stir in the boxing community. Analysts and fans began to worry that the British boxer's rematch with the Ukrainian was in jeopardy.

In turn, Russian propagandists from the Sovetsky Sport publication released an article with the headline "Ukrainian again brought Tyson to depression. Fury crawled out of the bar on his knees". They recalled that the Gypsy King had experienced serious psychological problems after his victory over Wladimir Klitschko.

"This new incident raises serious concerns among fans and experts. Fury is known for his psychological problems and his tendency to depression, so his current problems with alcohol could lead to another breakdown. There is nothing wrong with a person who is not prone to depression allowing himself to drink alcohol occasionally. But for Fury, with his history of psychological problems, it's quite different. Fury already faced severe depression in 2016 after his victory over Ukrainian Vladimir Klitschko," the Russian media noted.

On May 18, Fury lost to Usyk by split decision. After the fight, Oleksandr announced his radical plan to continue his career after the rematch with Tyson. The Ukrainian also named the most difficult moment of the fight with the Briton. In addition, our boxer spoke frankly about his opponent.

Saudi Arabia has already officially announced the date of the second fight between Usyk and Fury. The boxers' rematch fees were announced. It is expected that the boxing rules will be changed in the second fight.

Before that, New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) dispelled the main myth about the Ukrainian's weakness. And Russian Oleg Taktarov called the results of Oleksandr's and Tyson's fights fabricated.

Promoter Bob Arum noted that he does not consider the Ukrainian to be the strongest boxer in the world. There was also an unexpected twist in the rematch between Usyk and Fury. It happened after Croatian Filip Hrgovic (17-1, 14 KOs) lost to British Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs).

The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has made a new statement regarding the deprivation of the Ukrainian boxer of the title of absolute world champion.
