Usyk named the most dangerous opponent of his career.
Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBO, WBC, IBO championship titles in the heavyweight division, stated that the most dangerous opponent in his career was Derek Chisora. He expressed his respect for Fury but noted that Chisora was extremely strong and instilled fear in him.
'Listen, I respect Fury. He is a great man, and I believe that this was my toughest fight. But the most dangerous was Chisora. A very tough guy. Derek works both as a right and left hand, and when I tried to block him, I thought: 'Oh God, get away, this is dangerous,'' Usyk stated.
Usyk's recent victories included a fight with Tyson Fury last year, which lasted all 12 rounds and was won by Usyk by unanimous decision with the score of 116:112. This confirmed his status as the absolute world champion in the heavyweight division and defended his titles from the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO organizations.
Before the match, Usyk was considered the favorite in the betting odds. The odds indicated his highest chances of winning.
Usyk dedicated this victory to his mother, who has always supported him. He also expressed gratitude to all mothers of Ukraine. This fight was his seventh in the heavyweight division and his fourth successful title defense.
Fury expressed his criticism regarding the judges' decision, who voted for Usyk's victory by unanimous decision.
Usyk also stated that he plans to continue his career after defeating Tyson Fury.
