Oleksandr Usyk has urged Tyson Fury to come out of retirement and fight him for the undisputed world heavyweight title
Anthony Joshua
“I saw in the eighth round, I saw in AJ’s eyes that he was feeling victorious already. I kept telling myself, ‘you cannot stop’ … big things were at stake,” Usyk added. “Thank God, the belts are coming back to Ukraine.

You never had the easy fights because you wanted to complete a résumé.
