[@RD-kh3xt]

@@clintvan9715 politics have always been involved in sport, especially boxing mate. Muhammad Ali was unable to box for 4 years and stripped of the world heavyweight title because he stood against the vietnam war. That's only one example, not including Jack Johnson being the first black man allowed to compete for the world heavyweight championship and going on to win it in 1908, when before that they could only compete for the 'colored world heavyweight championship'. There are a whole other heap of examples I could give. The truth is boxing has always been intertwined with politics.

[@morgan1985uk]

Such a measured and humble individual. A stark contrast to tyson. I don't blame Tyson for the way he is. He's a product of his environment and modern society. I do believe that if Tyson prepares properly he can beat Oleksander but I will be very feel if Usyk wins as there is no one more deserving.

[@badgasaurus4211]

Honestly tho, Tyson was a breath of fresh air when he came in and dethroned Klitschko. He gave life to a division full of lifeless boring fighters with no personality - even getting snubbed from sports personality of the year because the media thought he was too much. He’s only become insufferable now because he refuses to make the fights we want to see

There a a large cohort of people out there eg Fury rimmers who will predict with absolute confidence that Fury will beat Usyk no sweat & then in the same breath, say he doesn’t need to fight him because the result is a foregone conclusion. And that Fury is within his right to avoid fighting Usyk. It’s laughable if I’m honest. Its akin to a Liverpool supporter saying they don’t need to play Man City in the European cup final because they will definitely beat them.

Good interview. Usyk doesn't pretend he is what he is therefore very difficult for Fury. He admits his fears but is strong enough to break through.

[@zakharris11]

If he beats fury he for me will go down as the Goat. People say Ali but just like Ali this man has gone through so much adversity. We can only imagine the physical and mental toughness he has, fighting on behalf of a nation all while being the smaller man in a weight class where that matters most. No person has ever unified both cruiser and heavyweight divisions in the 4 belt era and he will be doing it against one of the best heavyweights.
