WBA, WBO & IBF Heavyweight World Champion Oleksandr Usyk has once again named WBC Champion, Tyson Fury, for an undisputed bout to determine who is the best in the world – and it personal.
Fans were probably expecting the fight to come a little sooner after Usyk’s win over Anthony Joshua, but nagging injuries will keep him out until early next year.
However, the Ukrainian champion, who is known for his natural sense of humour, decided to dig into Fury, calling him Borracho (Spanish slang for drunkards), while exclaiming. call an undisputed historic heavyweight clash in one. As always, he said it with a big smile on his face, as captured by SecondsOut.
“Not being able to argue is hugely important, especially when you get an opportunity like that, it doesn’t really happen that often. I’m calling for Tyson Fury, hey Tyson, Borracho [Drunkard], let’s make it happen. Let’s make a gift for boxing fans, let’s fight, let’s determine who is the best in the division, who is the best in the world. “
While the phrase was uttered jokingly, the intent behind it was still there. The Ukrainian is clearly on his way to claim the ‘King of Gypsy’ WBC crown, and perhaps this path will get him there faster. It’s a change in role as Fury is usually more likely to be named, especially like references Usyk’s previous campaigns were in the lower weight classes by calling him ‘middleweight’.
Both fighters will go into the match as invincible and the world of boxing is divided, what appears on paper, one of 2023’s picks and a simple piece of the puzzle. must be created. Thankfully for fans, Fury has made it clear that he enjoys the fight too – and his team wants fans to know that December’s fight with Derek Chisora is about keeping busy ahead of the Usyk fight. .
After a dismal end to 2022, which saw the demise of Crawford-Spence, Fury-Joshua and the bitterly disappointing demise of Eubank-Benn, an unlikely heavyweight title clash Arguably will be exactly what the sport needs to get back on track and bring light to what has been a dark few months for the sport.
