On Fury’s strengths in the ring and his biggest concerns, Usyk chuckled and simply responded, “[Chuckles]. Nothing. Speak. Talk to speak.”

Regarding expectations for the fight compared to his previous bout with Anthony Joshua, Usyk emphasized the differences between the two opponents, stating, “Tyson Fury is a different guy. We’ll see Saturday.”
Usyk revealed that he expects his weight for this fight to remain around 221 lbs, possibly slightly more.

Reflecting on his career, Usyk expressed that his biggest win is yet to come and will happen when his soul is delivered to paradise.
Looking ahead, Usyk hinted at a potential continuation of his career for another two to three years.
When questioned about his motivation to keep fighting, Usyk shared that his discipline, family, fans, and the support of Ukrainian soldiers serve as his driving forces. He expressed gratitude for the support he receives from his fans and the impact his actions have on children who look up to him.
