TYSON FURY ADMITS HE IS ‘TERRIFIED’ AHEAD OF OLEKSANDR USYK HEAVYWEIGHT BLOCKBUSTER

In the final stretch leading up to his highly anticipated bout against Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury has openly admitted to feeling ‘terrified’ about his current state of readiness. Set to clash with Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fury aims to become boxing’s first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. Speaking to the media at his local football club in Morecambe, Fury exuded confidence and appeared in remarkable physical condition, indicating a sharp focus on claiming the ultimate prize in the sport.

Following criticism for his lackluster performance against Francis Ngannou last October, Fury (34-0-1) seems determined to silence doubters by showcasing his peak form against Usyk, the brilliant IBF, WBA, WBO, and Ring magazine champion. Despite the setback of a cut eye postponing the initial February 17 date, Fury has put the disappointment behind him and is now fully prepared for the upcoming challenge.

Fury’s current fear stems from his feeling of readiness more than a month ahead of the fight. He confessed, “I’m actually frightened of where I am right now, and that’s a fact – I wouldn’t lie to you.” Expressing concern about peaking too soon and risking illness or fatigue, Fury emphasized the importance of monitoring his training regimen closely to maintain his optimal condition.

Beyond the Usyk showdown, there looms the tantalizing prospect of a long-awaited clash with British rival Anthony Joshua. Promoter Eddie Hearn has already touted this potential matchup as the biggest fight ever, promising an electrifying spectacle for boxing fans worldwide. As the countdown to May 18 continues, anticipation builds for what promises to be a historic night in the heavyweight division.
