Ukrainian Boxer Warns Gypsy King Against Underestimating Ukrainian Boxer
In the world of boxing, the heavyweight division has always been the most prestigious and highly anticipated. And in recent years, the division has been dominated by two names – Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. However, there is one fighter who has been making waves in the division and has the potential to shake things up – Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk has been making a name for himself in the boxing world with his impressive record of 15 wins and no losses. He is the current undisputed cruiserweight champion and is looking to move up to the heavyweight division to challenge the top dogs. And one person who has taken notice of Usyk’s potential is the last absolute world champion in the super heavyweight division – Wladimir Klitschko.
In a recent interview, Klitschko, who retired in 2017, warned the current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, also known as the «Gypsy King», against underestimating Usyk. Klitschko, who knows a thing or two about dominating the heavyweight division, believes that Usyk has what it takes to cause an upset.
«I’ve been following Usyk’s career for a while now and I have to say, he’s a special fighter. His footwork, speed, and technique are on another level. He may not have the size of Fury or Wilder, but he has the skills to beat them. I don’t want to see Fury make the same mistake I made with him. Underestimating Usyk would be a big mistake,» said Klitschko.
Klitschko also added that Usyk’s move to the heavyweight division could be a game-changer for the division and could potentially lead to a new undisputed champion.
«Usyk’s move to the heavyweight division is exciting for boxing fans. He brings a different style and energy to the division. And with the right training and preparation, he could become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since me. It’s a tough road, but I believe he has what it takes,» Klitschko said.
Usyk, who has been training with Klitschko’s former trainer James Ali Bashir, is confident in his abilities and is ready to take on the top heavyweights in the division.
«I have a lot of respect for Klitschko, he is a legend in the sport. And I take his words seriously. I know that I have a tough road ahead of me, but I am ready for the challenge. I have been training hard and I am confident in my skills. I believe I can beat the top heavyweights in the division,» said Usyk.
Fury, who is known for his outspoken and brash personality, has not yet responded to Klitschko’s warning. But with his upcoming rematch against Wilder in February 2020, it is clear that he has his hands full. And if he does come out victorious, he may have to face the challenge of Usyk in the near future.
In conclusion, it is clear that Klitschko sees something special in Usyk and believes that he has what it takes to become the next big thing in the heavyweight division. His warning to Fury serves as a reminder to never underestimate your opponent, especially one as skilled and determined as Usyk. As fans eagerly await Usyk’s debut in the heavyweight division, one thing is for sure – he will be a force to be reckoned with.
