Oleksandr Usyk: ''Tyson Fury Is All About Ego and Show!''

A viral video uploaded on the Ukrainian champion's YouTube channel shows him training together with Anthony Joshua

Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, who had faced each other twice in the past and had an intensive competitive rivalry, are now training together inside Usyk's gym in Gandia, Spain. A behind-the-curtains video, which Team Usyk uploaded yesterday, reveals how the British and Ukrainian fighter are training together, sharing knowledge and interesting stories from the past, and truly enjoying communicating with each other. At a certain stage, Oleksandr states that in his opinion, Tyson Fury is about show and ego, that he always wants to be seen, to feel the crowd energy, to feel important but his showboating against Usyk did not work because as the current unified champion mentions in the video, once Fury got tired after the sixth round, he could no longer fully utilize his reach and length. What is noticeable in the video is that Usyk starts the training session by reading a prayer written on one of the walls, asking God for a safe and successful training. Even after completing a sparring session, the Ukrainian thanks the Higher Power for going through it healthy. 

On the other side, Anthony Joshua seems to be in good spirits and very fit ahead of his clash against Kristian Prenga this Saturday, on July 25. The British heavyweight looks ready for his fight against the undefeated Albanian and is willing to show the world that he is capable of coming back to top-level competitive boxing even though he experienced a big personal tragedy last December.
