Oleksandr Usyk has plenty of praise for Tyson Fury, but the Ukrainian fighter believes he knows the one thing that his heavyweight rival is afraid of.
Usyk, the WBA, IBF, and WBO champion, has been linked to an undisputed showdown with Fury for a number of months but he's still no closer to securing a date with the WBC ruler.
With that fight seemingly off the table, Usyk is moving forward with his own plans and he’s currently rumoured to be fulfilling his WBA obligations with Daniel Dubois.
Despite moving in a different direction than Fury, that hasn’t stopped the two-weight world champion from having his say on the British heavyweight.
“He’s a big man who has very good abilities in boxing and in life,” said Usyk when speaking with Vringe.
“But this big man is very afraid of losing.”
