Tyson Fury's 2018 comments have fans convinced he's now ducking Oleksandr Usyk
“He was a three-time cruiserweight champion and then he stepped up into the heavyweights.
“He was a slick, talented boxer and I tried to walk him down using my size and power, but he was just outboxing me. “What I’m good at – boxing, moving, slipping and sliding – I couldn’t do against Steve Cunningham because he was quicker than me.“It was like he was a better boxer all round than me. I couldn’t do nothing with him, and he knocked me over even though he was a light puncher supposedly.Usyk possesses many of the traits Fury that described as troublesome about Cunningham“I thought, ‘This is it, US debut I’ve been knocked out. “So I got up, I just went straight forward at him, no more boxing now.
“You might be ahead on points, but sooner or later I’m gonna get you. And I did, in round seven I felt him going weak because I was pushing him back.“After he got tired I hit him with a heavy body shot in round seven and he didn’t recover and then I pushed his head back and knocked him clean out with a right hand.“I’m not gonna make any excuses, Steve Cunningham was a better boxer than me.”
