It was the Usyk final talking to opponent Rico a short time ago moments ago at their weigh in on the eve of battle.
On the eve of battle, both had clearly trained for the fight.
Usyk had put in some weight on himself and Rico had come in light at the weigh ins.
Both training well though.
“I feel very good. I’m happy. This is an incredible place — the pyramids. We are making history here. I have a lot of respect for Rico. He is a strong guy with powerful legs, good pressure, and strong character. I’ve been training very hard for this fight. Boxing is my life, it’s in my heart. Tomorrow we will see everything in the ring.”
The Usyk final words to Rico short and to the point.
Despite him coming in heavy he had added a lot of muscle mass so we don’t think he will be so slow he won’t be able to get off punches and land cleanly.
He will use his boxing anyway from round one and surely toy with Rico if he wants to with the huge gap in boxing ability between the two.
Rico is surely the underdog that everyone wants to win given it being the biggest underdog story we can ever remember in boxing history.
Maybe even in all of professional sports history.
That is no exaggeration either.
Here were the Usyk vs Rico weigh in results a short time ago.
