Tyson Fury by many is considered the best heavyweight of these times. Of this era.
That said, until be beats Usyk and Joshua, fans will always call for those two fights.
Joshua and Usyk, of the UK and Ukraine, are considered the other best heavyweights of this era.
Both have won the title as well have Olympic title pedigree at amateur level.
He’s doing one of the fights soon and is under no illusions of the challenge ahead per Michael Benson/Queensberry:
“Oleksandr Usyk’s a real bad man and to underestimate Usyk you’d be a mug. So I’m training hard for him, I’m doing everything I can. I respect Usyk as a man. I respect his career as well – Olympic champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion, unified heavyweight champion. You have to respect that, I’m fighting the real deal. I’m looking forward to the challenge. He’s got good footwork, good boxing ability, technically sound. He’s proved he can mix it with the big heavyweights because he’s beat Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. I’m messing with an elite fighter.”
Fury is also a student of the sweet science historically.
As evidenced from the above.
He’s no fool and knows Usyk is a serious challenge to step in with.
Despite some claims Fury is heavy, make no mistake, he’ll have trained hard.
He will be switched on come that first bell.
Intriguing fight.
An awesome fight for boxing and the heavyweight boxing division.
There’s nothing like heavyweight championship boxing in all of sport.
Nothing compares.
Whoever wins this fight has all the marbles.
The main man in the heavyweight division.
Of this era.
