Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, has thrown down the gauntlet to Tyson Fury ahead of their highly anticipated fight later this month, urging fans to ‘pray’ for the Gypsy King to avoid any further injuries that could delay the bout once again.
The clash between Fury and Usyk is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on May 18, marking the first undisputed heavyweight showdown this century. Originally scheduled for February, the fight was postponed after Fury suffered a cut above his eye during training.

He dismissed claims that Usyk is a ‘crybaby’, highlighting the Ukrainian’s track record of facing opponents in their own backyard and his relentless pursuit of Fury.
The promoter praised Usyk’s mental strength and discipline, citing them as his greatest assets in the ring. He emphasized that Usyk’s experience, boxing skills, and unwavering focus set him apart from Fury, making him a formidable opponent.
With tensions running high and both fighters eager to prove themselves, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown in Saudi Arabia. Boxing fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the clash between these two heavyweight titans, as they prepare to witness history in the making on May 18.
