“The Ukrainian singled out Tyson Fury”, — write: sport.ua
Oleksandr Usyk, the unified world champion in super heavyweight, considers Tyson Fury the most difficult opponent.
– If you rank this trio (Fury, Joshua, Wilder) from the strongest to the weakest?
– I don’t have the “strongest”. Each of them spent years to reach this level.
But judging by the complexity of my preparation for the fight and the intensity of the fight itself, Tyson Fury comes first, Anthony Joshua comes second. For now, I put Wilder on third, because I haven’t boxed with him yet. This is a purely subjective feeling.
Usyk managed to defeat Tyson Fury twice in 2024. Both tense matches ended with a referee’s decision in favor of the Ukrainian.
