“There is no beauty or fashion in this,” Oleksandr Usyk gives SAVAGE response to Tyson Fury mocking his earrings

One of the most awaited boxing matches of this era is just a short while ahead. The 2 fierce and undefeated opponents: Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk go head-to-head in the ring. But prior to that, they must engage in verbal war in press conferences and other promotional events.

Recently, the 2 greats of the sport sat one-on-one across a table with no yes men or fans surrounding them. This event showcased the true emotions that the 2 feel about each other. At the event, Fury, who is known for his showmanship took a jab at Usyk for wearing earrings. Usyk had a stern reply to this insult.

I can explain the earrings. Its Ukranian warrior Cossack. They were the people who defended my country from enemies for many years. This is just proof of my Cossack lineage. They never lost to anybody. There is no beauty or fashion in this.

Could this be called degradation of one’s heritage or culture from Fury or is it just pure showmanship to add spice to the fight? This is debatable. However, fans love these below-the-belt jabs that create a true sense of hatred and animosity between the two fighters.

The annoyance of Usyk after Fury made the comment was quite evident on his face and his answer. However, press-conferences are meant for the build-up of a fight where there are true emotions between the fighters.

Whose hand will be raised after the fight? One thing is for sure, one fighter will walk out of the ring with a smile on his face and an unbeaten record and one will walk with his head hung down with a broken ego.
