Klitschko Has A Dig At Fury’s Loss To Usyk – ‘Thank you, The Tricks Fury Tried Failed’

“Thank you Oleksandr…Oleksandr showed once again that with technique, you can make much more and get much further in boxing than just with power. He has the power of the man, but his power is his heart, his belief, and that he’s Ukrainian. I’m really proud tonight of the winner of Oleksandr Usyk and really proud to be Ukrainian.

“He didn’t let him distract with all the tricks that Tyson Fury tried [as they failed] to do. He was consistent, and he stayed on his line and he was just waiting for this opportunity to make full contact that we saw in the ninth round, and he did it,” Klitschko said

Another member of Usyk’s team has had the last laugh. John Fury headbutted Stanislav Stepchuk during the start of fight week. Fury simply lashed out at Usyk’s team for cheering on their fighter as both camps faced each other. Fury was criticized for the unprovoked attack, especially since he picked on a smaller man from team Usyk. Stepchuk, however, saw Usyk beat Fury, getting the final say. While he did not take any action against John Fury, he had plenty to say once the fight ended. He was delighted to see his countryman come out victorious. 

“I very happy..I don’t know why the referee [counted]…It doesn’t matter [as Usyk won] You need to speak with Tyson as he likes to…blah blah blah. Usyk won, it’s all amazing.  Of course, of course, I nervous [about the decision]. This is the heavyweight division. We will go to the hotel, watch this fight one more time and go to sleep. Thank you English people for supporting me…Now. we finished the fight. We talk about this [John Fury headbutt]. What is this? This is not professional work,” Stepchuk stated
