“Weighing 1.5 kilograms and drinking 7 liters of beer before the match will still defeat Usyk” is just one of Tyson Fury’s shocking statements at the press conference last night April 10, before the classic title unification match.
Last night, April 10, an official press conference was held by Tyson Fury and the boxer’s management unit, Queensberry Promotion company of famous promoter Frank Warren.

Of course, people are no strangers to the psychological warfare moves Tyson Fury regularly applies and overwhelms his opponents in the “war of words” before the match. And this press conference is no exception.
“I think, if I didn’t need any training and preparation, stepped onto the stage weighing more than 150 kg and drank more than 7 liters of Peroni beer the day before, I would still defeat Usyk,” Fury eloquently affirmed.
“Looking back, he couldn’t do anything against Derek Chisora (October 2020). It was a 50-50 match where anyone could be the winner. And now even at the age of 37-38, Usyk has been past his prime for a long time. Can he play with me and land a good jab? To make the upcoming match even, I probably need to drink 7 liters of beer, at least So”!
The truth is that Tyson Fury certainly will not bring his overweight body – like the match against Francis Ngannou last October – to the ring to fight Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And of course the ability to drink liters of beer before a match is just funny.
Clearly, the 35-year-old British boxer is preparing his body the best as recently shared photos show that Fury has become slimmer, more elegant and has more muscle thanks to a strict training regimen. correction. Fitness coach Kristian Blacklock himself affirmed that “Tyson Fury is in the best shape of his career and is healthier and more balanced than ever.”

When the cruiserweight boxers (-90.7 kg, the weight Usyk once competed in and won the championship in) moved up to the heavyweight division and faced big boxers. “Moreover, they will become hunted prey,” Fury declared.
“You can beat normal weight opponents, but you won’t be able to beat good boxers with big weights because physical differences really make a difference.”
Most likely, Tyson Fury will enter the classic belt unification match with a weight around 120 kg – 125 kg, which will be significantly heavier than Usyk, who usually maintains a body weight of 100 kg.
Not to mention his height of 2.06m makes Fury taller than Usyk by up to… 16 centimeters and the British puncher’s reach is also nearly 18 centimeters better than his opponent.
“Fury has an athletic body…. and if he fights an opponent with the same skills but a much weaker body, the bigger boxer will win and win all day,” Fury’s coach SugarHill commented as if Closing the issue of comparing the advantages between the two gangs at the press conference.
