“From the start to the top, I used to be the one that was going ahead,” Wawrzyczek instructed the BBC. “I believe that’s the clue to win with southpaw boxers.
“He was clearly excellent already in protection. Nevertheless, I left all the pieces that I may go away within the ring in that third spherical [to get the win].”

“My technique if I have been coaching Tyson Fury could be similar to Anthony Joshua’s scenario in his combat in opposition to Usyk. He did one spherical like that, and he received that spherical, however he stopped attacking him, that’s why he misplaced.
“Tyson Fury’s enormous, he’s huge, he’s a lot greater than Usyk in order that he may very well be that particular person,” concluded the Jersey-based health coach.
Fury has his work lower out for him in opposition to the very best technician within the division and presumably within the sport. Usyk can work out a fighter in a single spherical, regulate his combat blueprint, and see the specified end result.
