Ukrainian world champion heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk shared his memories of his first fight with British boxer Tyson Fury. Usyk particularly noted one moment when he missed a powerful uppercut from Fury in the sixth round. This blow almost knocked him out, but the athlete managed to recover and continue the fight. /p>
This was reported by URA-Inform, with reference to SecondsOut Boxing News.
“An uppercut is painful, very painful,” Usyk shared, comparing his condition with that of show in cartoons.
He added jokingly:
“After the blow, it seemed to me that there were not birds flying around my head, like in cartoons, but some kind of storks. But I was able to recover, return to the corner and receive instructions from the trainer.”
This fight became an important stage in the career of Usyk, who was able to demonstrate his endurance and resilience. A rematch between Usyk and Fury has already been scheduled for December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. This fight is expected to become one of the most significant events in the world of boxing.
