“All Dude Is Doing Is Getting Tenderized”: Oleksandr Usyk’s Training to Strengthen His Weakness for Tyson Fury Fight Fails to Impress Boxing World

The recent announcement of the postponement of the heavyweight title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk stirred frustration among fans. The setback came as a result of a cut that Fury sustained during training. The Englishman, addressing these speculations on Instagram, outlined a robust five-fight plan. What is the heavyweight’s plan, some might wonder?

It includes two clashes with Usyk, two with Anthony Joshua, and a rematch with Francis Ngannou. Fortunately, the bout has been rescheduled for May 18. It appears that should no other hurdle come to pass, Fury and Usyk will end up having their highly anticipated undisputed title bout. Moreover, it seems that Usyk is not pulling any punches in his preparation for the fight.

Oleksandr Usyk trains his one glaring weakness…

In the latest update of the developing saga, a video of unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk preparing for the upcoming bout surfaced on social media. Since then, the video has taken off and has been making its way into the world of boxing. The video shared on Usyk’s social media reveals his intense training regimen, including absorbing unprotected body shots from a sparring partner.

This strategic preparation hints at Usyk’s readiness for the upcoming battle against ‘The Gypsy King.’ Fury’s power is no joke and Usyk who almost lost against Daniel Dubois due to the controversial low blow, needs to work on his durability to stand a chance. Even Fury at the time shared his critique towards Usyk having low durability. While Usyk is trying his best to work on himself, the clip’s reception among fans has been rather mixed.

The boxing community does not resonate with Usyk’s means of preparations

Oleksandr Usyk finds himself amid intense training sessions as he gears up for the anticipated clash against Tyson Fury. However, recent developments in his training regimen have left the boxing world questioning the effectiveness of his preparation. One fan stated, “Am I tripping or does that seem to effect him more than it should? Sensitive area…”.

Another fan points out that the sparring partner did not have a “single ‘power shot'”.

Meanwhile, a fan chose to give a more optimistic outlook by saying, “Just think how much that hurts in training. Imagine in a fight. Tough SOBs all boxers are.”

Another user didn’t share the same sentiment as he predicted an easy win for Usyk’s opponent.

One user imparted some harsh criticism to the boxer’s training methods and predicted a decisive loss against Fury.
