Promoter Krassyuk Dismisses Usyk Broken Jaw Fears

Fury Too Flawed For All-Time Greatness, But Perfectly Flawed For Fan-Friendliness

Tyson Fury is the ultimate “1 of 1” heavyweight champion. There’s never been, and presumably will never be, another like him. He’s listed at six-foot-nine, has a dad bod even at the end of a great training camp, has the hand speed of a middleweight, can get knocked down by blown-up cruiserweights or by MMA dudes boxing for the first time, can get up from Deontay Wilder’s best two-punch combination, displays the fleet-footed grace of Muhammad Ali one minute and the oafishness of Primo Carnera the next — and this is all before even mentioning his personality.

Fury-Usyk: The Week That Was

Another day, another embarrassment in which John Fury was at the centre. His 35-year-old son may be just days away from a career-defining victory that would enhance his status as one of the very finest heavyweights of all time, but John Fury – not unlike in much of the documentary footage surrounding his prizefighter son Tyson – was apparently unable to resist again attempting to be the centre of the world.

Fury-Usyk Fight Week Diary: Day Six

For those curious about the evolving fan experience on fight night in Saudi Arabia, when BoxingScene arrived at the remote Kingdom Arena for Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk there were fans having a flag confiscated, despite theirs being a flag dedicated to Usyk, and not Ukraine. For those curious about the potential evolution – or lack thereof – of narcissism’s John Fury, he could again be seen front and centre when his son first arrived at the arena, and then when the then-WBC heavyweight champion made his way to the ring.

Checkmate: Usyk Several Moves Ahead Of The Gypsy King

A good chess player, it has been said, is someone who can recall patterns, understands tactics and strategies and can envision openings and endgames. One might ask what that has to do with one of the great heavyweight fights of modern times, but if you look behind the bloody display of skill, inspect the I.Q behind the desire and look at the shifts in momentum of a tumultuous struggle in Saudi Arabia, you could be excused for thinking the new undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Oleksandr Usyk, might have been able to imitate his success in the ring while sat at a chessboard.

Exemplary Usyk An ‘Icon’ For Those Suffering In Ukraine

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk described the sense of escapism his winning the undisputed heavyweight title will have delivered to those in Ukraine who remain under siege.
