Usyk tells Yard how to beat Beterbiev
Mandatory contender for the WBO light heavyweight title Anthony Yard (23-2, 22 KOs), WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight title holder Alexander Usik (20-0, 13 KOs) told him how to beat WBC/WBO/IBF world champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0.18) Confessed. IR).
“I sat next to Usyk in the Fury-Chisora fight. He spoke and I listened. I am a very humble person when it comes to learning. What he said to me will stay between us. He told me something. Usyk fought Beterbiev twice. He just told me some things, gave me advice.
Usyk is a good man. And I am the same. When you see me laughing and laughing, it’s sincere. Same with Usyk. He laughs, has fun, but knows how to fight. The main thing is to be a student and try to learn,” Yard said in an interview with the Seconds Out YouTube channel.
Beterbiev faced Usyk twice as an amateur. Both fights took place in the quarterfinals: first at the 2011 World Cup, and then at the 2012 Olympic Games, Usyk defeated Beterbiev twice and both times with the same score of 17:13.
