Former world light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk believes that if Tyson Fury once again disrupts the fight with Oleksandr Usyk for all heavyweight titles, the Ukrainian should fight another opponent.
"Honestly, I don't want to make anything up. I just hope that this fight will eventually take place and not go anywhere again. I think they've marinated it for sure enough already. If it was done for that purpose, there's enough to keep it from getting too salty. That's exactly the point where I think it should already be happening, if that's the reason.
And if Fury does it for the reason that he feels that he is not ready, well, then let him really, as Usik says, leave the title, and Sanya will box with some Hrgovic or Parker. Somehow," said Gvozdik in an interview with the YouTube channel "Victor Yalymov Boxing Studio".
Recall that the fight Usik vs. Fury will be held on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
Ukrainian super-heavyweight boxer Oleksandr Usyk believes that compatriot Oleksandr Usyk, the WBA, WBO and IBF world champion in this division, will be able to hold on for victory over British Tyson Fury, the holder of the WBC belt.
"We hope that Alexander will win. But actually I think it will be very hard this time. Because Fury has taken to training very actively. And we see what good shape he's in now. He's lost weight. I think he's going to try to outbox Usik. I don't think he'll be charging for a knockout. I think he will try to outscore by speed," - quotes Zakhozhego vRINGe .

"Lomachenko is still a great fighter. I think he won the fight against Devin Haney last year. But the judges decided otherwise. You have to respect their decision. Cambosos is a great boxer. He's always in great shape. It's gonna be a tough fight. We'll see who will come out victorious. I have a lot of affection for Vasili. He's a terrific guy, a great family man, a great father. We're in for a great fight.
It would be a great joy for me to see Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson fight. It would be great to see two experienced guys fight each other," Arum said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claims that eight titles, not four, will actually be on the line for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
"I've read a lot of comments where people are saying there are four titles at stake. Let's make it clear now: there will be more at stake than four belts.
We have the IBO, IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC, The Ring and lineal champion titles. So for all the assholes who thought there would be four belts, correction: there will be seven. Sorry, there will also be a Riyadh Season title. Eight titles. Eight belts will be fought in one fight. It will be a record," Fury stated.
