Oleksandr Usyk picks between undisputed title and Olympic Gold medal ahead of historic title clash against Tyson Fury

Usyk still laments that he didn’t get the Olympic Gold on his first attempt. Moreover, he stated an Olympic medal is a dream for fighters, irrespective of the discipline. Furthermore, the Ukrainian boxer revealed that he knew a three-time World Championship winner of boxing who unfortunately couldn’t win an Olympic gold medal.

Nonetheless, Usyk also considered the undisputed title integral to his legacy. As such, he was extremely grateful to Turki Alalshikh for the opportunity. Usyk was confident about becoming the undisputed champion, citing his family, particularly his sons, as motivation.

Oleksandr Usyk reveals why he would take four belts home

Oleksandr Usyk is a father of four, two boys and two girls, with his wife, Yekaterina. On the other hand, Tyson Fury is a father of seven, four boys and three girls, with his wife Paris. Both fighters consider their family first and foremost in their lives.

Fury and Usyk have had tough fights in their career but have never lost. Fury’s trilogy with Deontay Wilder and Usyk’s two fights against Anthony Joshua are examples of the grueling fights. As such, both have the motivation to become the undisputed champion on May 18. In a recent interview, Usyk revealed why he would be the victor.

Usyk revealed he knew he would get the motivation from his sons even before he had them. Similarly, Fury would also get the same from his sons, all named Prince. As fathers and undefeated professional boxers, Usyk vs. Fury has the potential to become the biggest boxing spectacle of the decade, even the century.
