Oleksandr Usyk got advice from two of the biggest heavyweights of the past 20 years ahead of an undisputed clash with Tyson Fury.
The Ukrainian boxer revealed that he has been in close dialogue with compatriots Wladimir and Vitaly Klitschko, both of whom have provided the unified heavyweight world champion with guidance as he navigates the levels. top of the blue ribbon unit.
Speaking on his official Youtube ChannelI said:
“Of course I talked to both of them. Wladimir supports me with sports and technical advice, and Vitali supports me with life advice and of course sports.
“I listen to it carefully, and I decide what to use. My team and I define the strategy.”
Wladimir’s long reign of champion ended at Fury’s hands in 2015, so it could be argued that there are few better places to give Usyk a hint of a meeting with the ‘King of Gypsy’.
The two top heavyweights faced off last weekend following Fury’s halting win over Derek Chisorawhen Usyk emerged from the London crowd to his ring apron and sent the excitement for the four-belt unification turned into a frenzy.
Negotiations over a fight between Fury and Usyk are said to be progressing well, with a date in late February or early March being touted by those around the fight.
Fury promoter Frank Warren has admitted the contest will likely take place wherever it generates the most revenue and a lucrative venue fee offer from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is rumored to have taken place. Okay.
After fans suffered bitter disappointment over the collapse in negotiations for Fury to take on Anthony Joshua this year, the first undisputed heavyweight title fight in more than two decades almost will certainly restore the much-needed goodwill to the sport.
