LONDON: Ukrainian challenger Oleksandr Usyk on Thursday dismissed concerns that he did not possess the size and strength to take out world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, saying that the"power is in your spirit".
"People talk a lot ... we'll see on Saturday what happens ... because the power is in your spirit, it's not about being big or small," said Usyk, who has fought only twice before as a heavyweight. "... David Haye was three times smaller than Nikolai Valuev which shows that it doesn't matter," he said. The 34-year-old added that he expected a chess match in the initial rounds of the bout.
The 31-year-old was slated to take on compatriot Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia this year but the fight was cancelled after an American arbitrator ordered Fury to take on Deontay Wilder in a third bout.
