Fury is a well-trained, big guy, he knows what to do. It's not going to be a cakewalk. I know that, but I'm ready. I'll do anything to win. A knockout is a tough challenge for an athlete. I really don't want to take away anyone's health. Of course, I want to win, but I don't want to harm anyone.
Usyk last came to the ring against a representative of Britain Anthony Joshua in August of this year. The confrontation lasted the whole distance and ended with the victory of the Ukrainian boxer by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 20 wins (11 KOs) and no defeats on his record.
In April of this year, Fury fought his compatriot Dillian Whyte. In this fight Tyson scored an early victory, knocking out his opponent in the sixth round. Fury had 32 wins (23 by knockout) and one draw.
