Oleksandr Usyk names the legendary fighter who’s provided advice on how to beat Tyson Fury
Oleksandr Usyk is gearing up for an epic showdown against Tyson Fury next month, and he’s tapping into some heavyweight wisdom to bolster his chances. With undisputed glory on the line, Usyk will face Fury in Saudi Arabia on May 18, with all four world titles up for grabs.
A significant figure in Usyk’s corner is none other than Wladimir Klitschko, a staunch supporter of the Ukrainian fighter. Klitschko, who knows firsthand the challenges of stepping into the ring with Fury, faced the Brit in 2015, only to succumb to Fury’s dominance.
Fury’s strategic and calculated performance frustrated Klitschko, leading to Fury claiming the world championship for the first time in Germany. Now, as Usyk prepares to write his own chapter in boxing history against Fury, he’s drawing on Klitschko’s experience.
Usyk has confirmed that Klitschko has offered him valuable advice ahead of the showdown with Fury, though the specifics remain shrouded in secrecy. “Wladimir has given me advice, but now it’s a secret,” Usyk shared during an interview with Seconds Out.
The question remains: will Klitschko’s wealth of experience against Fury be enough to guide his fellow countryman to victory? As the anticipation builds for this colossal clash, all eyes will be on Usyk as he seeks to etch his name alongside the greats in boxing history.
