Oleksandr Usyk knows how to get in the head of his opponent outside the ring. The Ukrainian fighter made some claims about his upcoming opponent Tyson Fury. Usyk, the current unified champion, has been eager to get himself in the ring for a long time and dethrone Fury for the WBC title, which will make him the undisputed champion of the world and cement his name in the sport as one of the greatest to ever step in the ring.

Oleksandr Usyk’s Take on Tyson Fury

Fury and Usyk have a long history of trash-talking and calling each other out. Recently, in an interview with the Guardian, Usyk said, “When there are no cameras, he is completely different. He plays the bad guy for the cameras. I think he likes movies about love and when he watches them he cries a little. That’s not a bad thing. When I watch some sentimental movies, I can shed a tear too.”

According to Usyk, He has seen Fury get in the heads of his opponents in their fight and believes that the Brit’s actions will be futile in front of the Ukrainian.

Tyson Fury never leaves a chance to berate ‘The cat’. In his last win over Chisora in December, The ‘Gypsy King’ called out Usyk, who was ringside. “I’m going to write you off. I’ve already done one Ukrainian and I’ll do you as well, gappy teeth.” After Fury’s fight with Chisora, both the fighters met in the ring for a face-off.
