The Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk explained that he had no intention of causing his opponent Tyson Fury serious injuries. He clarified that he considered humane concerns and his responsibility to his family.
'I was just boxing, without the intention of causing serious harm. In boxing, it's important to remember that after the fight, everyone returns to their family - children and wife,' Usyk said.
Tyson Fury also supported the referee's decision that there was no knockout in the ninth round. He admitted that he had difficulty responding during the attacks from Usyk, known as the 'Gypsy King'.
It is reminded that Usyk defeated Fury in their first fight by judges' decision and became the undisputed world champion. The next fight between them is set to take place on December 24 in Saudi Arabia.
It is also worth noting that Usyk addressed Rogan about Trump regarding the release of the 'Azov' fighters and other issues.
