WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF super heavyweight world champion
Oleksandr Usyk
shared his impressions of the WBC title holder Tyson Fury's fight with Derek Chisora.
In the main match of the evening of boxing in London, at which Usyk was present in the hall, Fury
defeated
Chisora by technical knockout in the tenth round.
However, this triumph of the "Gypsy King" did not particularly impress the Ukrainian champion.
In an interview with the British media, Usyk spoke ironically about the match, calling it "good sparring".
"What do I think about the Tyson fight? I don't think anything. It's a very good sparring. After the fight I didn't say anything to Tyson. I looked into his crazy eyes. I really want to have the next fight with Tyson Fury. The whole world wants it. Everyone boxing fans want to see this fight. This is for the sake of the people. I will fight for the title of absolute champion. I think that the situation with the IBF will not interfere, because this is a big fight for all the main belts," Usyk said on iFL TV.
We will remind, after his victory, Fury defiantly challenged the Ukrainian to a fight.
Oleksandr came closer to the ring and the future opponents
had a duel of looks
.
35-year-old Usyk has 20 victories (13 by knockout) in 20 fights.
He spent four of them in the heavyweight division.
Before that, Oleksandr became the absolute world champion in cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), winning all four of the most prestigious belts there.
On the night of August 21, 2022, Alexander
defeated the
British Anthony Joshua in a rematch, which took place in the city of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
Thus, the Ukrainian defended all the titles he
took
from AJ last fall, and also won the vacant
belt from The Ring magazine
.
The 34-year-old Fury has 33 wins (24 by knockout) and one draw.
