Oleksandr Usyk has confidently admitted that securing victory over Tyson Fury on Saturday for the undisputed heavyweight world championship will be ‘easy’ compared to previous his Olympic success. The Ukrainian boxer, who remains undefeated like Fury, will face the ‘Gypsy King’ on Saturday night and look to add four belts to his collection.

Despite everything being on the line against Fury, Usyk still holds his Olympic gold medal from London 2012 above any other success.

“I have four belts coming for my four children, two for my sons and two for my daughters, one each,” he declared. “But my gold medal will always be better than undisputed.”

Usyk sees Olympic gold as an accomplishment over any other professional title, due to how rare it is to dominate a sporting event at the Games. “Everyone who does sport – any sport, boxing, judo karate – they all dream of the Olympic Games,” Usyk added.

“I know men with three World Championship medals but no Olympic gold – only bronze. I did two Olympics and only got one medal. It takes four years, my final opponent Russo had done four Olympics but still had no gold medal after 16 years.”

Usyk believes this because of how long the journey to Olympic success takes, with the path to winning a world title in pro boxing easier to achieve in his eyes. The Ukrainian is proud to represent his nation, and sees a gold medal as the ultimate prize.

A training camp was set up in Spain by Usyk’s team, in order to prepare him for the biggest heavyweight bout since Lennox Lewis toppled Mike Tyson in 2002. Usyk is known for his unusual training techniques, but it’s worked every time for the undefeated boxer.

Usyk uses techniques such as juggling, underwater breath-holding, and tackling intricate mathematical puzzles. He’s now incorporated a Newton’s cradle into his strict regimen, symbolizing what he sees as the inevitable trajectory of Fury’s fate on Saturday.

Usyk remarked, “Newton’s Cradle has already started,” and confidently added, “It can’t be stopped, just like the small Ukrainian guy; Oleksandr, ‘the undisputed world heavyweight champion’ Usyk.”
