Tyson Fury both in his physical condition and speaking respectfully of Usyk has shown he is deadly serious for their unification fight.
Speaking to Queensberry Podcast Fury said:
“Tricky (will Usyk be), not so much because he’s a boxer and he can’t trick me anything. Usyk is a bad man. He’s a real bad man. Any underestimation of Alexander Usyk you’d be a mug. So I’m training hard for him and doing everything I can.”
On switching southpaw on the night:
“Probably, I’ll be switching up, I always do.”
Adding:
“Chisora is a lot more one dimensional than Usyk, Usyk is a slick guy.”
Concluding:
“I just think my will and determination will be more than enough on the night.”
What a fight it promises to be.
The question is can Usyk box on the back foot and get a decision to win the title?
At some point he will need to show calculated aggression surely, intelligent pressure.
That’s when he might open himself up to Fury’s reach and counters.
