Well I've just finished scratching my head regarding the large weight increase for Usyk, AND, I'm the first to admit that I DKSAB. However.

My conclusion then, is

Usyks gonna rag doll Fury all around that ring like he's his daddy, and knock him spark out within 8 rnds

You heard it here first....

I was going to say 5 rnds.

I'm switching to Usyk KO1!

For the record, while it might seem hyperbolic.... I wouldn't rule that out.

I'm looking for Usyk to get first knockdown of Fury by the 3rd

Usyk has somehow lost all of his muscle definition. What could have happened? He looks so puny next to Fury. Tyson is going to chew him up like wild boar meat.

Yes, muscle definition wins fights...You're so smart lol...

Since I don't speak Polish at all, I used some AI tools to get the gist of what was being said in this interview by Jakub Chycki, a Polish physician employed by Usyk to help him prepare for the Fury fight.

This content is protected

The video was shared by @BlackDog who, as I understand, speaks Polish just like @lordlosh (based on your exchange). Can you please confirm that what I managed to decipher and translate from the interview is actually accurate? @Serge, I think a few of your questions regarding Usyk's camp and whether they thought through what they were doing will be answered here, especially since word on social media now is that they made a mistake when announcing Usyk's weight, and it was actually 223, not 233.

------------------------------------

Reporter: How would you assess Oleksandr Usyk's physical form today compared to previous camps? There seems to be great confidence in you as the Grand Master.

Chycki: This confidence among those close to Oleksandr developed gradually, initially with curiosity and some distrust. So yes, it was a process. As you said, it’s been three preparatory camps. In my case, it was more of a transition as I was involved in Lapin's preparations while still in Poland. There was a sneak preview of these solutions, discussions with staff, mainly medical doctors, and that’s how this transition happened. Oleksandr's physical condition, which was never in doubt, is at a very high level.His physical fitness and aerobic capacity allow him to be very mobile and dynamic in fights, which is key to his style. Fitness preparation was never a shortcoming; it’s always been at a consistently high level, enabling his unique style. What sets him apart from other heavyweight fighters is his aerobic capacity and fast recovery between rounds. We don’t see major acid-base imbalances or high lactate concentrations because it’s all disposed of efficiently. This forms the basis of his training, which is extensive.

Reporter: Sorry, we need to take Przemek off for now because we can hear him in the studio, and we’d prefer not to hear his private conversations. Kuba, let’s return to the topic of preparation camps. Are you with us?

Chycki: Yes, I am.

Reporter: Let’s get back to the preparation camps. This camp lasted three months. We spoke before this date, which was cancelled. Was it practically sparring from day one?

Chycki: Yes, sparring partners changed, and then there was a cancellation. So he was back in camp quickly. Essentially, in the last seven months before the fight with Fury, he sparred for about 5.5 or 6 months. The head coach’s regimen includes sparring as an integral part. These sessions are structured progressively with varying round durations. The total sparring time spans several weeks with differing quality and intensity. Oleksandr doesn’t let himself get hurt in sparring. Sparring time is extensive, spanning several weeks, and that was the case here. You asked about Usyk's weaknesses and strengths. His aerobic capacity is well-known, but physically he isn’t the strongest, not even in the cruiserweight category. When compared to fighters like Tomek [Tomasz Adamek], Tomek seemed physically stronger. There wasn’t much room for improvement in strength. Strength progression comes with age, but it’s a different style targeting a fight with Fury. The focus was not on changing his style but maintaining his ability to box at high intensity, delivering many punches and surprising in sequences. Cognitive performance, vision, and tactical consistency were areas of focus.

Reporter: So it’s mainly about timing, reflexes, and overview.

Chycki: Yes, exactly. We moved from purely physical training to integrating science. Usyk, being very intelligent, was open to scientific solutions. Usyk trusted science, and this integration may yet lead to progression for such an outstanding athlete. Combining science with sport is necessary, especially in physical culture, medical, and health sciences. Usyk’s team, consisting of doctors, physiotherapists, and physiologists, base their actions on scientific evidence. We often separate theory from practice, but in sport, there are only effective solutions. Usyk’s camp involves experimental methods, controlled conditions, and scientific protocols. Usyk is open to these solutions and very aware of their application.

Reporter: Did you have to contend with old-school Ukrainian methods, which relied more on repetition than scientific research?

Chycki: Yes, there were traditional methods, but the staff size and scientific support allowed for subtle modifications and individualised training. We even have mobile labs for blood tests, sleep analysis, and cognitive performance monitoring. Usyk averages 7 hours and 23 minutes of sleep, with 40% being deep restorative sleep. Naps are also incorporated during high-intensity training periods.

That's what I needed to hear.

If Usyk's cardio is in good shape, he should win the bout.

He won't. I hate to say this but Fury isn't that good offensively, wilder just couldn't box or throw countershots. He will have a hard time chasing down Usyk, he could get outboxed, and his KO power isn't enough.

Fury is past his prime, he's going to have to rely on the judges here.

Bots like Usyk are killing the sport. Boxing needs people with personality; people that you will either love or hate.

War Fury!!!

Ah I get it now... youre likely a teen, my bad. Its not unusual for youth to care about a fighters personality more than the actual fights and skills.

In the meantime, heres a 'sport' probably more up your alley...

Does his mummy know that he frequents the rough areas of the internet? There should be some kind of parental lock on the family PC!

You just admitted that Usyk has the personality of a school headmaster.

Boxing has always thrived on personalities and always will. But you enjoy cheering as Usyk circles, throws open handed 1-2s, and complains about getting hit in the stomach.

Thankfully, he has only fought about 20 times in his entire career. To each his own, though.

Can't wait to see it. What time is the ring walk tomorrow in America

Does anyone know if this incorrect weight thing is actually true? If it is then surely a correction should be announced and apologies made?
