Official press conference Tyson Fury vs Usyk: “Silence” after… 10 seconds and the face-off is distorted
The official press conference for the world classic boxing heavyweight title unification match between Tyson Fury and Usyk this morning became a “disaster” for fans because “the screen went silent after 10 seconds”…
Taking place 48 hours before the world classic boxing heavyweight title unification match, the official Tyson Fury vs Usyk press conference is expected to be heated, filled with provocations, criticism and even “collision”. between two parties. But in the end it just made fans quite disappointed.
On social media platforms, boxing fans vehemently criticized “the press conference was so bad… because none of the boxers spoke for more than 10 seconds”.
Although he is famous for his sass and is very good at “martial arts” and psychological warfare to provoke opponents during press conferences, this time Tyson Fury suddenly announced that he would only answer “short and sweet”.
“I’ll make it short and sweet, and say I want to thank Usyk for the challenge. I’m ready to show my show,” Fury said. “There’s not much to say, other than I’m ready to fight, and whether it’s going to be tough or easy, I’m ready.”
Fury’s “surprising humility” along with the microphone problem of “godfather” Frank Warren, Fury’s representative’s voice being… broken, made the press conference even more of a disaster.
Of course, when Fury speaks little, there is no reason for a famous, calm and reserved boxer like Usyk to “open the loudspeaker to attack”. “I’m very excited. Let your gloves do the talking in the ring. Now let’s prepare to make history this weekend,” Usyk shared.
The expected brawl that would match the value of the classic title unification match did not take place. Worse, when it comes to the face-off stage, where two fighters come face-to-face, up close, often leading to extreme actions and even clashes from both sides, the script also becomes “distorted”.
Not actively “aggressive” as usual, Tyson Fury suddenly refused to meet face to face, looking straight into Usyk’s eyes. Instead, the British boxer turned to look straight at the camera lenses below, and only Usyk kept the face-off position.
“Usyk is a guy who looks clearly scared,” Tyson Fury explained why he did not look at his opponent’s face when interviewed with Sky Sports after the press conference. “I’m relaxing and waiting until I go on stage this Sunday morning. What I wanted to say has been said, the press conference is over.”
It is known that after the press conference, there will be a weigh-in between Tyson Fury and Usyk taking place tonight and tomorrow morning Vietnam time.
