"He’s a good God-fearing Christian and family man" – Tyson Fury professes love for Usyk
Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury shared his feelings about Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their highly anticipated rematch.
Details: According to Fury, he harbors no ill will towards Usyk and even expressed admiration for him.
Quote: "No, I have no regrets. Why would I? It was a close fight, and the referee raised Usyk’s hand. I give him full credit and don’t make excuses. He beat me fair and square.
I’m convinced I won, but that’s just my opinion. Everyone has their own take. But he won, and I congratulate him for that. It’s all there on TV for everyone to see. I kissed his cross and thanked him. Now we’ve got another fight, that’s all.
There’s no hostility. I don’t hate Usyk. He’s a good God-fearing Christian and a family man. Why would I hate him? He helped me earn millions of dollars—I love him! Do you get what I mean? He’s a boxer, I’m a boxer, and we had a great fight," Fury told Vringe.
Reminder: On December 21, Fury and Usyk will face off in their highly anticipated rematch. In their first bout, Usyk defeated the "Gypsy King" via a split decision, claiming the WBC heavyweight title.
Earlier, the full undercard for the December 21 boxing event in Riyadh was revealed.
