He paid tribute to his father after the win, and listed all the family events he had missed while training for the fight.
Tyson Fury said he thought he did enough to win the fight after suffering the first defeat of his career by split decision. 'It was a close fight ... I believed I did enough but I'm not a judge, I can't judge a fight while I'm boxing it'. he said. 'I tried my best, I was having fun ... it was what it was'.

Man his father must have empowered him so much. Gave him unbelievable belief in himself.

@JR-vr2pz 25 күн бұрын

I think his self-belief is probably rooted in the fact that his father truly believed in him and really meant it when he told him that he could accomplish his dreams and beyond, even if the dream seems really difficult to accomplish. Usyk really does have unbelievable resolve and discipline. True professional and champion. What he achieved in boxing is truly remarkable, yet he maintains so much humility. His father must be sitting in heaven and so proud of his son. Usyk defines what it means to be a world champion.

@D_Handler 26 күн бұрын

Honestly in the middle rounds i thought Fury had Uysk figured out, he was landing flush and had figured out Uysks timings. I thought Uysk was in big trouble, but something happened when he went back to his corner, something overcame him and he snapped back with more intent, more pressure and an unwillingness to give in. Maybe he channeled an inner strength from his father at the time. Truly a special fighter. Well done

@brandonadam7167 25 күн бұрын

I mean you could look at the change in the fight from that perspective, but I simply thought that Usyk took those middle rounds off, which allowed Fury to land as easily as he did. But Usyk was totally aware that he was making Fury exert himself a ton in those middle rounds. He chose to step back into the fight in the 8th round as soon as Fury slowed down and wasn't moving his feet as often. Usyk is a master at controlling fights.

Humans need heroes that drive us away from cynicism. Heroes help define the limits of our aspirations. We largely define our ideals by the heroes we choose, and our ideals -- things like courage, honor, and justice -- largely define us. Our heroes are symbols for us of all the qualities we would like to possess and all the ambitions we would like to satisfy. A society is shaped by the heroes it chooses to promote, their qualities and aspirations that the young generation will look up to and which they will aspire to and try to emulate.
