Inside Oleksandr Usyk’s training camp as boxer continues brutal regime despite Tyson Fury postponement
OLEKSANDR USYK has showed no signs of slowing down his preparation for his undisputed heavyweight title showdown with Tyson Fury.
Usyk, 37, was set for a showdown with Fury on February 17 before the fight was pushed back to May 18 after the Gypsy King sustained a freak cut in sparring two weeks before the fight.
