What should Usyk do next?

[Primo Carnera]

as far as I'm concerned , the only thing Fury has over Usyk is size. And that is only an advantage if you use it properly and more importantly, if your opponent allows you to use it .
As Mike Tyson showed , it can also be used against you .
Fury has skills............for a big man! but he is nowhere near as skilful as Usyk.
and Fury is Bigger than Joshua, but not by loads , yet Usyk coped fairly easily with that size difference.
Usyk isn't as small as Fury would have you believe.
If this fight ever happens, I see Usyk winning plenty of rounds early and getting a wide points win or maybe even stopping Fury late on.

Though Krassyuk was sceptical about Fury's preparation, he revealed Usyk is training specifically for that opponent on the April 29 date, even revealing the Ukrainian is reading Fury's biography as research.

"He's like in the mental state of a warrior who is planning to defeat his opponent on April 29. This is his mindset," the promoter said.

"He's enjoying his training camp. He's working hard, three times per day training, reading Tyson's book, maybe the second one already."

"Size never matters much," he added. "We expect him to become a historic person.

"Usyk is one of the biggest inspirations for Ukrainians."

Usyk's team though will not be imposing be imposing any further deadlines on Fury themselves, with Krassyuk saying: "The deadline has passed already three weeks ago so there are no deadlines anymore."

Fury himself responded promptly to Krassyuk's claims.

"You sausage," Fury said on social media. "You'll get what you're getting don't worry. You're the worst manager in history, you got your fighter to accept 30 per cent.

"You got outwitted by a man who never went to school in his life. Sausage. Keep talking, your boy's going to get smashed and he's going to be beltless like the other bum AJ."

Bellew - who was knocked out by Usyk in 2018 - claimed the Gypsy King's aggression will lead him to his first loss.

He told talkSPORT: “Tyson Fury’s style has changed over these last few years, ever since he went under the tutelage of SugarHill of the Kronk.

"His style has completely changed, he’s no longer this big awkward fighter, who uses his elusiveness as an advantage.

"He is now someone who is an aggressive counter puncher, he looks to hurt fighters and get rid of them.

"That change of style will play into Oleksandr Usyk’s hands, it really will, and I’m tipping Oleksandr Usyk to win.”

He said: “Oleksandr Usyk has sold himself well short.

“He’s bowed to every demand and I think it’s crazy that he’s done that, but it is what it is.

"He’s done it for the good of boxing and he’s done it for the bettering of his country and that’s the kind of man he is, I’ve faced him, I know all about him.”

Bellew and usyk is a lovely romance, although I'm not sure if usyk loves tony as much as tony loves usyk.

[Mark TKO]

Unless fury is suddenly way past it then I don't see how usyk can win by stoppage at all. He couldn't stop joshua or del boy.

Usyk is more skilled for sure but you have two of the best boxing brains in the business here.

What fury won't win this time is the mind games however

Right there, spot on. Been getting that initial feel last few days and lead up. Tyson came off like a red-faced Mommy Dearest ranting over wire hangers and sounded like a man forced to go somewhere he didn't really want to go.

Still wouldn't put a sudden injury out of the question it's early

Can you remember when Bellew wanted to fight Fury? He is with Eddie and works for Dazn so has his tongue firmly up AJ butt.

Bellew would have stopped Fury within 2 rounds

Rahman feels that Usyk will cause his rival a "host of problems" and beat 'The Gypsy King'.

"Usyk possesses a whole host of problems that Tyson don't want. He's the boxer. Tyson likes to be the boxer, the elusive guy. He likes to tire these heavyweights out," Rahman told K.O. Artist Sport.

"He's not gonna do that with Usyk. It's gonna be reverse, the opposite. He don't want those kind problems. He wants his legacy intact and I think Usyk will disrupt that. "Usyk will out Tyson Fury, Tyson Fury."

Rahman has refused to state whether he thinks this makes Usyk the best heavyweight in the world as he "might lose to Deontay Wilder".

"I'm not saying that, I'm saying that I think he can beat Tyson Fury - but I think he might lose to Deontay Wilder," Rahman added. "Styles make fights, and I think that a boxer is the worst style for Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury needs big broad brawlers."
