Why didn't Fury try to walk down Usyk?

Try imposing your will on Usyk and you'll find out it's no match for his.

Took up boxing at 15 y/o

Olympic gold medal
World Amateur gold medal
European gold medal

Won all his medals on the road

Undefeated in the WSB up at SHW against giants

Undisputed CW champion in 15 fights
Undisputed HW champion in 22 fights

Won and unified all his world titles in his opponent's backyards or on the road

One home world title fight in his entire career and it was in a neighbouring country

A combined 2 home judges in all his world title fights

Never knocked down by a head shot despite facing a murderer's row of punchers, many way bigger than him, and a whole bunch of some of the biggest punchers in the sport

Is routinely giving away huge physical advantages at HW against giants

Wins all his fights via clean boxing, no fouling, no deck-stacking, no refusing to sign on the dotted line unless he has all the advantages stacked in his favour, and he literally has to use a passport everytime he fights

But it's got nothing to do with what Usyk does right, it's what his opponent's do wrong. You can't make this poop up

 

Usyk could hurt him. He didn't like it. Fury didn't try to walk down Francis either. Jaw is tender i'm afraid and Usyk hits harder than credited, as demonstrated. Ably.

But he did way better on the front foot - so his plan for the rematch is going to be a difficult study.
