Oleksandr Usyk: what motivates the Ukrainian champion before the fight with Tyson Fury

Ukrainian super heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk, WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world champion, spoke in an interview with Forbes about his preparation for the upcoming fight against British Tyson Fury. The fight promises to be historic, because at stake is the title of absolute world champion in super heavyweight.

In particular, Usyk noted that he will fight "for the whole country" in the match. According to him, the character of the winner and "unbreakable team" will help him.

"Nowadays I am motivated by what and how I do. When you set a task for yourself and you succeed in it, it is very energizing. And when something doesn't work out, I'll always continue until it does," said the boxer.

He also shared his impressions of the final days before the fight against Fury:

"We can say that these are media days - communication with the press, activities that "spread" the fight around the world. But as an athlete, I try to be less involved in it. My main task is boxing. There is also training, about an hour of time - mainly cardio and keeping in shape."

Battle Usyk - Fury

As UNIAN reported, the Usyk-Fury fight will take place on the night of December 21-22 at the Kingdom Arena in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. At stake are three heavyweight titles (WBO, WBA and WBC), as well as a commemorative belt from the WBC, which is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the legendary fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali.
