Tyson Fury, never shy to share his thoughts on the heavyweight boxing scene, recently showered Oleksandr Usyk with praise for his dominant performances against Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. Fury acknowledged Usyk’s technical mastery and ability to outclass opponents but raised eyebrows by making a glaring omission in his commentary.
Speaking during a recent interview, Fury lauded Usyk for his ability to handle two of the heavyweight division’s most dangerous fighters. “Usyk gave both Joshua and Dubois a proper lesson in boxing,” Fury said. “He’s shown what it means to be a skilled fighter in a division full of big hitters. His footwork, angles, and precision are unmatched.”
Despite his praise, Fury conspicuously avoided discussing the controversial low blow ruling during Usyk’s fight with Dubois, a moment that has sparked significant debate in the boxing world. Many expected Fury to weigh in on the incident, given his reputation for addressing contentious topics, but he sidestepped the subject entirely, focusing instead on Usyk’s overall accomplishments.
Fury also refrained from directly addressing his own upcoming fight with Usyk, leaving fans eager for insight into his thoughts about facing the Ukrainian champion. With their bout widely anticipated as a unification showdown, Fury’s omission has only added fuel to the fire of speculation about the dynamics between the two heavyweights.
For fans and analysts, Fury’s comments underline his respect for Usyk’s abilities while leaving open questions about how the two champions will match up when they finally meet in the ring. As the heavyweight division continues to heat up, all eyes remain on Fury and Usyk to see who will emerge as the undisputed king.
