Chat with InsideFighting, Klimas was upbeat when discussing team-to-team negotiations for his senior, Oleksandr Usyk, to take on Tyson Fury. He insisted all sides wanted the war to happen and went on to give an exact timeframe for when it could happen.
“As far as I know, everyone has agreed. Tyson Fury said yes, he will do it. Usik? Of course, he called it already. “
“It could be the end of the year, or the beginning of next year. But we’ll definitely talk about it. “
The words of a confident man, even though he’s been in the sport long enough to know anything can happen. When asked about the percentage chance of a fight, he quipped that, in boxing, it’s only 100% when fighters enter the ring. He followed it up with a potential number and location.
“It’s about 80% now… It will probably happen again in Saudi Arabia [Arabia]. “
His information is consistent with latest reported developmentsand they come together to give fans more hope than ever that the pair will go head-to-head to determine the generation’s strongest contender.
Who will overcome the championship? It’s no surprise that Klimas believes in his boxer. When asked if he was the one to beat Fury undefeated, the manager countered Usyk’s own impeccable track record and offered an attribute he said would clearly be key.
“Usyk never loses [either]. Usyk has good feet. “
“If Usyk thinks he won’t beat [Fury]he [would] never call him or will go to fight with him. Of course Usyk will defeat him. “
