JAKARTA - Tyson Fury will not object if there is blood and guts all over the ring as he fights Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, 2024 in Saudi Arabia.

He felt unperturbed if the wound on his temple was re-opened.

As is known, Fury was seriously injured in his temple during his training. Due to the injury, he had to postpone his duel schedule against Usyk, which was actually held on February 17, 2024.

However, the British WBC champion emphasized that there would be no bad effects related to his injury in the fight later.

"The wound is a wound. If it opens it will open up. It's a fight. I've suffered a lot of wounds before, a lot of blood and guts all over the ring. I'm not worried."

"It wasn't a big wound, only seven stitches, unlike the 47 stitches I got after (against) Otto Wallin," Fury said.

Fury's injuries are still clear. However, he emphasized that he was in a physical and mental condition to face Usyk.

"The best version of me is any version that makes me happy. I always love boxing."

"I get a very large fee every time I fight," he said again.

The Fury vs Usyk duel is a big battle. Both will fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title.

Lennox Lewis held the undisputed heavyweight title last time in 1999 or 25 years ago.

Fury looks very ready to win three Usyk's belts, namely WBA, WBO, and IBF. His gaze at Usyk was determined during a press conference.

"Thanks to all the fans who came to support me because I know the difficult times."

"There's nothing I can say other than I'm ready to fight, be it difficult or easy."

"I will pray for him, so that both of us can return to our families because that is what happened."

"Me and Oleksandr will show a fantastic show to watch the world. He (Usyk) is a scary looking guy."

"I'm just here to relax now and wait until I get into the ring," Fury said.

Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk also floated a similar ambition. He wants to make history by winning an undisputed heavyweight title that has been a quarter-century without an owner.

In fact, Usyk has prepared a unique celebration if he can beat Tyson Fury.

"I'm happy to be here. I'm happy and grateful. Let's make history."

"The image is my homework. It's a poem. I won't show it now. Later," Usyk said of his celebration.
