Tyson Fury Confident Ahead of Usyk Showdown
Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) appears to be full of confidence ahead of his showdown with Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight world title on May 18 in Saudi Arabia. Fury, the WBC champion, believes Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts, will fall short against an "elite, big" heavyweight like himself. "Size is what really matters and we have weight divisions for a reason," Fury stated, explaining the significance of size in the heavyweight division.
"I'm the best. I'm just defending my 'best-ness' against him." Fury sees the bout as an opportunity to cement his legacy as the best heavyweight of his era. "This is my time, my destiny, my era and my generation. Facts."
The rescheduled fight, originally set for February, is now set to become a pivotal moment in boxing history. Fury's confidence is shared by his team, who predict a knockout victory for the Briton. Despite Usyk's victories over the likes of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, Fury remains unfazed, stating, "If Tyson Fury can't beat Usyk, Tyson's no good. End of."
As the anticipation built for the clash between the two unbeaten fighters, Fury humorously quipped, "I'm going to go for Usyk to knock me out in the first round." However, beneath the jest lies Fury's unwavering belief in his ability to emerge victorious. With his sights set firmly on victory, fans await the result of what co-promoter Frank Warren says will be the biggest (fight) of the 21st Century".
