In order to find success, he’s been forced to lock in like he never has before. He knows the scale of the challenge that lies ahead of him. After all, Usyk is one of the most well-rounded boxers on the planet today. Still, that isn’t going to scare someone like Fury who has been in there against some absolute monsters over the years.

In a recent interview, ‘The Gypsy King’ spoke candidly about the sacrifices he’s been making in the lead-up to this contest.

Fury’s big sacrifice

“I’ll end his career, this will be, you’ll never hear about Oleksandr Usyk again after this. It’s been a long camp, hasn’t seen my wife and kids in 3 months. I haven’t spoken to [my wife] at all in 3 months,” Fury said. “Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it. 100 percent.”
