"Will it be the toughest in his career?": Usyk's manager on the superfight against Fury

Egis Klimas, the manager of the IBF, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titleholder Olexandr Usyk, shared his expectations for the upcoming title fight against Tyson Fury.

According to Usyk's representative, the bout against the Gypsy King will be the most challenging in the Ukrainian's career.

"We've worked very hard to organize this fight, and finally, we've done it. This might be Usyk's toughest fight yet. He's confident, but at the same time, he fully understands there's a lot of work ahead. He's hardworking and an exceptional fighter.

Finding sparring partners won't be easy because Tyson is very tall and big. Moreover, he has a long reach, an unorthodox fighting style. But I have no doubt about Olexandr's victory. Our key assets will be footwork and his boxing intellect.

Nobody believed Usyk could dominate in the heavyweight division and claim four belts. I've been fortunate to work with Olexandr. He's a very good person, never jealous of anyone, always smiling. It's going to be an excellent show. The most spectacular show!" - stated Klimas during the weekly press conference of the World Boxing Council in Mexico.

Usyk and Fury are set to battle for the undisputed heavyweight championship on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.

Earlier, the world champion's promoter, Olexandr Krasyuk, revealed how much longer the Ukrainian could continue performing at the highest level.
