Usik’s promoter Alexander Krasyuk said that he is not sure about the fight with Fury
Alexander Krasyuk, the promoter of Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik, spoke about the possible disruption of the fight with the British Tyson Fury. His words are quoted by the YouTube channel Daily Mail Sport Boxing.
“Am I sure the fight will take place? No, not at all. My confidence will increase when I hear the starting bell. Then I will begin to believe that the fight will take place,” Krasyuk said.
Fury and Usyk will fight on February 17 in Riyadh. Previously, the Briton refused to fight the Ukrainian at the super tournament in Saudi Arabia, scheduled for December 2023. Before this, the boxers were supposed to meet on April 29, but were unable to agree on the distribution of fees.
Usik has 21 victories in 21 fights. He holds the World Boxing Organization (WBO), International Boxing Federation (IBF), International Boxing Organization (IBO) and WBA Super heavyweight championship belts.
Fury has 33 wins, one draw and no losses. He holds the World Boxing Council heavyweight championship belt.
