What's Been Said Ahead of the Historic Bout?

There’s been a lot of banter going into the fight between the two fighters. Fury, being the great showman that he is, mocked Usyk in many ways. He said that Usyk was never in his crosshairs. Instead, it was fighters like Wilder and Joshua.

He went ahead to mention that he’s not even considering Usky as a serious opponent. Considering his achievements, Tyson said in an interview that he doesn’t need to take the fight too seriously. He’s only going to spar for three weeks and rest for one.

Fury also went on to comment about Usky’s earrings, saying a man who wears such a thing can never beat the Great Tyson Fury.

As the Ukranian is not that fluent in English, he didn’t have much to say when compared to Fury. But the comment about his earrings made him fire back, saying that they’re part of his Cossack lineage. He also mentioned that it’s a symbol that the Cossacks never lost to anybody.

When the date for the match was finalized, Fury started calling names. He referred to Usyk as “Sausage” and mentioned that the Ukranian can’t beat the greatest British Heavyweight boxer ever to live.

Even the trainers have joined in on the argument. Usyk’s trainer said that when one is lazing around, and the other is training hard, it’s only a matter of time before the world sees who’s the best.

While banter is a part of the sport, Fury said that he doesn’t hate Usyk. This is all business, and he’s looking forward to the fight that Usky will put up.

Tyson Fury: Form Guide

Fury’s latest fight with Francis Ngannou was a close one. Fury won the match by decision. But even then, if you look at the scores (94-95, 96-93, 95-94), it was a close match. The match left Fury knackered and in need of recovery, which is why the Fury vs Usyk fight has been delayed to February.

The latest performance and the fact that Fury doesn’t like to work hard have many fans doubting the Tyson Fury vs. Usyk odds. Keep in mind that in size comparison, punching power, and boxing skill, Fury outperforms Usyk in every way.

Oleksandr Usyk: Form guide

If you look at Usyk’s latest fight against Dubois, you might get a better idea about the Ukrainian’s current form. He successfully defended his title. He landed 24.5% of the 359 punches.

Although there was a controversy regarding the fight, many believe Dubois should have won the match by KO had it not been ruled a low blow.

In comparison to Fury, he’s definitely on the short end of the stick when it comes to size and technique. But it’s noteworthy that Usyk is better at defending. So the Usyk vs Fury odds are stacked really close.
