Usyk spoke about his first defeat
The world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk shared details of his first defeat in amateur boxing. In an interview with The Ring, he talked about a tournament in Crimea, where it was very difficult for him and he contemplated ending his career. However, with the support of his father and inspiration from Holyfield, Usyk continued training and achieved great heights.
However, Tyson Fury, who announced his retirement, returned to boxing but has lost to Usyk twice in a row.
Usyk defeated Fury in a fight at the end of last year, defending his world champion titles. Bookmakers also favored the Ukrainian before the bout. This is already Usyk's seventh fight and his fourth successful defense of the heavyweight world championship title.
Fury recently criticized the judges who unanimously awarded the victory to Usyk. But this did not stop Usyk from stating that he plans to continue his career.
