The Gypsy King’s ten round domination sets up a historic unification bout with Usyk next year.
Ringside in London, the Ukrainian went face to face with Fury and cut a stern face as he looked into the eyes of his potential next opponent.
But it was not just Fury, 34, who Usyk, 35, had his game face on for, even striking a stone face with the ring card girls.
Kayleigh Debono, who also works for Monster Energy, snapped a selfie with the pound-for-pound star.
Usyk hilariously had fans in stitches as he took a phone call while Fury called him out just a few yards in front of him.
The pair are all set for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed fight in 2023.
Fury said: “We’re hopefully gonna see the biggest year of my career, 2023, we’re gonna get the big fights that the fans really crave.
“First of all let’s talk about Usyk. I’m ready, I’m willing, to take on Usyk next – whether it’s gonna be in Saudi Arabia or back here in the UK.
“Both places will be fantastic. And let’s give the fans one champion, one name, one face. Usyk’s up to the challenge.
“He came over tonight, so fair play to him. He’s not an easy boxer to figure out, he’s a slick, southpaw mover with very good skills, Olympic gold medallist.
“And he’s coming on some good form so I’m really looking forward to the challenge.”

How to effectively box
Boxing is the most loved sport in the world. It involves two people who attempt to knock each other out of their heads. The rules of boxing vary from country to country. In general, there are three types of boxing; Amateur, Professional and Olympic boxing.
Amateur boxing usually takes place at school, college and university. This type includes sparring sessions using padded gloves, but without protection. Amateur boxing competitions usually last three rounds and last five minutes each. Amateur boxing can be done in many styles, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Taekwondo or Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.

Olympic boxing can be divided into two types: Light Flyweight (Heavyweight) and Heavyweight (Light Flyweight).
The basics of boxing are:
- Techniques for punching
- Techniques for protecting yourself
- Footwork
- Stance
- Body movement
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Sparring
Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches require greater strength than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Spare parts
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Boxers learn to train their mind and bodies during sparring sessions. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
In conclusion, learning to box requires dedication and patience. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
