Oleksandr Usyk Wants Tyson Fury Next, Vows To Beat His Ass

Oleksandr Usyk is hoping to face Tyson Fury next time out.

On Saturday in Saudi Arabia, Usyk earned a decision win over Anthony Joshua in the rematch to defend his belts. It was a solid performance from Usyk and he is happy with he win that the belts are going back to Ukraine.

“This fight was extremely important for my country and team and for me,” Usyk said. “I boxed for the whole country and half of the world. It also differed [from the first fight with Joshua] that I could not control my emotions, especially in round nine. That was the one surprising element. I saw in round eight in his eyes that he was feeling victorious already. I kept telling myself ‘you cannot stop, you cannot stop, you cannot stop. Some big things were at stake. And thank God the belts are coming back to Ukraine, victory is for us and Ukraine won… The reason the belts are coming to Ukraine is that Anthony did not use his physical advantages until the end. Size doesn’t matter when you are fighting, that was a real war in the ring and then size is not important. This is where real spirit works.”

Along with Oleksandr Usyk being happy the belts are staying in Ukraine, he also hopes he can face Tyson Fury next. The Brit said he was interested in that fight and believes it is one of the biggest fights to make in boxing. Along with that, Usyk is confident he would beat Fury.

“That is what I am dreaming of every day,” Usyk said about Fury. “I am going to beat his ass.”
