Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury took part in a “low-key” press conference and did not have a duel of glances. The British boxer did not turn to face the Ukrainian and kept looking in the direction of the audience.

Size doesn’t matter. If size mattered, the king of animals would be the elephant, as the Ukrainian champion said about the size of his opponent Fury.
Earlier, teams of boxers clashed with each other in Saudi Arabia during the week of the fight for the title of absolute world boxing champion.
As a result, Fury’s father was injured, who broke his forehead after hitting a representative of Usik’s team.
The British boxer is 15 cm taller than the Ukrainian and heavier than 24 kg. In addition, he has a larger arm span (216 cm versus 198 cm).
The Ring of Fire boxing show will take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadi, on May 18 at the Kingdom Arena. The exact time the boxers will enter the ring and the start of the fight will be announced later. Tentatively, the broadcast of the Usyk-Fury fight will begin no earlier than 1.30 a.m. on May 19, Kyiv time.
The winner will become the first undisputed world super heavyweight champion since 1999.
