“All Dude Is Doing Is Getting Tenderized”: Oleksandr Usyk’s Training to Strengthen His Weakness for Tyson Fury Fight Fails to Impress Boxing World
Follow Us
The recent announcement of the postponement of the heavyweight title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk stirred frustration among fans. The setback came as a result of a cut that Fury sustained during training. The Englishman, addressing these speculations on Instagram, outlined a robust five-fight plan. What is the heavyweight’s plan, some might wonder?
It includes two clashes with Usyk, two with Anthony Joshua, and a rematch with Francis Ngannou. Fortunately, the bout has been rescheduled for May 18. It appears that should no other hurdle come to pass, Fury and Usyk will end up having their highly anticipated undisputed title bout. Moreover, it seems that Usyk is not pulling any punches in his preparation for the fight.

This strategic preparation hints at Usyk’s readiness for the upcoming battle against ‘The Gypsy King.’ Fury’s power is no joke and Usyk who almost lost against Daniel Dubois due to the controversial low blow, needs to work on his durability to stand a chance. Even Fury at the time shared his critique towards Usyk having low durability. While Usyk is trying his best to work on himself, the clip’s reception among fans has been rather mixed.

Another fan points out that the sparring partner did not have a “single ‘power shot'”.
Not a single “power shot” was seen. How can you defend against something you’re not taking?

Meanwhile, a fan chose to give a more optimistic outlook by saying, “Just think how much that hurts in training. Imagine in a fight. Tough SOBs all boxers are.”
