The IBF / WBA / WBO heavyweight champion gave an interview to The Indipendent where he envisions the rematch against Anthony Joshua in the spring. So not in February as Eddie Hearn had repeatedly pointed out? Here's what the 34-year-old Ukrainian said: - The rematch will definitely happen, the promoters are discussing the details then they will set a date. This rematch will take place at the earliest in early spring. I hear about changes in Joshua's team, but I don't care too much. I always and only focus on myself and on being at least a little bit better than the previous fight. You ask me what I think of a possible reunification with Tyson Fury? It's not very nice to look too far ahead in boxing if you have a tough challenge first. Everything in its time . Of course I like Fury's technical skills. People are impressed with his size, but I look more at the quality of his boxing. I can only say that for beating Fury one gotta be at the top of shape.
Usyk is the greatest professional around IMO. Highest IQ, doesn't get caught up in bull****, full of confidence, healthy and focused. I like Fury and AJ, but Usyk is a far greater professional and well rounded human.
Hahaha. Bodybuilder's poor boxing skills didn't satisfy Usyk. Usyk gonna win the rematch by TKO. (I still don't think there will be a rematch.) Fury vs Usyk might be in 2022 if Joshua and Whyte step aside.
Great insight from Usyk. So much professionalism and a good sportsman, he's everything that's right about boxing.
There it is, out of the mouths of one or the other of most peoples' picks for P4P Picasso. From Usyk to Canelo, Fury's ability is lauded by his peers. Get him in the list. It's well overdue.
Usyk is great for boxing. Highly skilled and dominant yet humble, honest, with a pleasant personality.
