OLEKSANDR USYK and his team are even more confident about getting the better of Tyson Fury after seeing him in action against Derek Chisora.
The undefeated Ukranian had a front-row view for Fury’s third defence of the WBC heavyweight title – which he retained with a tenth-round TKO victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – earlier this month.

But neither the slick southpaw nor his team were impressed by Fury’s showing against the battle-weathered Del Boy.
Coach Sergey Lapin told Vegas Insider: “We came to London to watch Fury and Derek Chisora.
“We watched Fury up close at ringside with great interest. Our team highlighted many interesting moments from this fight.
“There are many subtleties that you won’t see on TV, for example, the work of the team, the connection between a boxer and his coach.
“Whether the boxer follows the instructions of the trainer or not. There are weaknesses.
“After seeing Fury in the flesh, our team is even more confident that Usyk will prevail and become undisputed and bring that WBC green belt home to Ukraine.
“The threat that Fury poses is no greater and no tougher than Anthony Joshua.
“We know how that ended for Anthony. We are very confident of beating Fury.”
Usyk’s proposed undisputed title fight with Fury is expected to take place in late February or early March.
All that remains for the showdown – which is expected to take place in the Middle East – to be finalised is for both parties to agree on a site venue.
Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum told Fight Hub TV: “We’re now fielding offers from around the world and hopefully by next week we’ll be able to have an announcement.”
Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas said last week: “We are almost done.
“There is not much to talk, two heavyweights, the undisputed heavyweight championship bout, that’s what people need.
“Most likely, we are aiming for Saudi.”
Usyk, 35, will be brimming with confidence ahead of his showdown with Fury following his back-to-back wins over Anthony Joshua.
But Fury is confident of handing the Ukrainian his first professional loss.
He said: “I’m looking to fight Usyk – Joshua’s nemesis, the man who’s got AJ’s kryptonite, the man who made him cry after the fight like a little girl.
“I’ll beat him, I’ll take that little sausage out.
“He ain’t got no kryptonite to me, he’s f** all to me, little f****r. I’m gonna make him dance.
“We’ll see how good he is. I’d like to get him in [Saudi Arabia] in February, make an example of him, and then give him a rematch and do it back at Wembley [Stadium].”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch is unique. Some punches are more powerful than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. On the other hand, a straight punch requires less power but it is faster than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. A combination may have multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire 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. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either 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 both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. 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. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are some of the most common ones:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spares
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. Sparring is a training session that helps a boxer train his mind and body. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
