Ukrainian coach Robert Garcia expressed his opinion about Tyson Fury's decision to end his boxing career. He believes that Fury did this in order to secure a better contract for the fight with Joshua, but he is confident that this fight will still take place. Garcia claims that for such a match, the Briton will earn about 100 million dollars.

Earlier, Tyson Fury had announced the end of his career several times. After his last return to the ring, he fought four matches, in which he defended the WBC championship belt twice and then lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk.

At the end of last year, Oleksandr Usyk again defeated Tyson Fury and defended the titles of world champion. The fight lasted 12 rounds and ended with Usyk winning by a unanimous decision of the judges - 116:112. Thus, the Ukrainian confirmed his status as the absolute world champion in the heavyweight division and defended the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO titles.

Before the fight, British bookmakers considered Oleksandr Usyk the favorite. The odds for his victory were 172, for a draw - 15.0, and for Fury's victory - 2.20.

After the fight, Oleksandr Usyk dedicated this victory to his mother and all mothers of Ukraine. This match became his seventh in the heavyweight division and the fourth successful defense of the world champion title.

Tyson Fury also expressed his dissatisfaction with the judges' decision, which recorded a unanimous victory for the Ukrainian.

Oleksandr Usyk plans to continue his career after the fight with Tyson Fury. He is currently the reigning world champion under the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO versions in the heavyweight division.
