Tyson Fury said that in the heavyweight World Title bout between the four major organizations in the heavyweight division, Ukrainian fighter Usyk is too small to compete with him. Fury did not deny Usyk's technical ability, but bluntly said that he weighed more than 270 pounds, while Usyk was only 220 pounds, and could use a 50-pound weight advantage to bully the small. Fury told reporters: "There's a reason why boxing matches are divided into weight classes, it's as simple as that. ”
Fury was very confident in his eloquence at the press conference: "First of all, Usyk doesn't speak English...... It's hard to talk to a boxing genius who speaks fluent English when you speak broken English, I'm like the Van Gogh of painting...... No one can compare to me when it comes to spoken English, especially foreigners who speak English very badly. This is my time, my dynasty. If I can't beat Usyk, then I can't, it's over. ”
The 35-year-old Englishman Fury is the WBC champion, while the 36-year-old Usyk is the WBA, WBO and IBF champion. Fury said that on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usyk, who rose to the heavyweight class, will be found to have a congenital deficiency. Fury went on to say, "You can beat the average big guy, but you can't beat the elite big guy, it's the physique that really matters, and there's a scientific basis for us to divide the weight." ”
Fury calls himself an "encyclopedia of boxing" and lists several of the boxing greats, including Holyfield and David Haye, who were defeated after rising to the heavyweight division. Fury explains, "I've studied every heavyweight class, and when the smaller fighters compete with the bigger fighters, they usually find that they are lacking. ”
Although Fury did not directly mention Zhang Zhilei's name, he repeatedly emphasized the key role of weight, and among the current top heavyweight fighters, only Zhang Zhilei weighed more than Fury, and Zhang Zhilei reached a terrifying 291.6 pounds! According to Fury's theory of bullying the small and eating his opponent raw, Zhang Zhilei can suppress Fury, at least he can make Fury's most proud physical advantage come to naught.
