Former unified heavyweight champion and former opponent Vladimir Klitschko was made fun of by WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury for giving his countryman, Oleksandr Usyk, advice on how to go into his next bout against Fury on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
The fight between unified champion Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) was originally scheduled for February, but it was postponed after Fury cut himself during a sparring session.
In November 2015, Fury made his debut as the heavyweight world champion by going to Düsseldorf, Germany, and defeating Wladimir Klitschko, the long-reigning heavyweight champion, via unanimous decision.
Usyk acknowledged that he has spoken with his compatriot and former unified champion, who has given him guidance on how to deal with Fury, in a recent interview with Seconds Out.
That seems like really wise counsel, doesn’t it? How can one lose against the Gypsy King?” Angry laughed.
“How can my old friend Wlad help anyone with advice? If he knew how to beat me, he would have used it himself, wouldn’t he?
“I taught old Wlad a biased boxing lesson, and he was a very good champion, just like this guy [Usyk].”
“Back then, I declared that I must be worthless if I couldn’t defeat Wlad. Fury addressed the assembled press, “Again, I will say it again: ‘If I can’t be Usyk, then I must be no good.” “Your headline is that.”
“Tyson Fury is no good if he can’t defeat Usyk. [Story] comes to an end since it is pointless to hold back.
