Fury Chickening Out? Refused To Make Eye Contact With Usyk At Final Presser

Shockingly, Tyson Fury refused to look Oleksandr Usyk in the eye when they faced off today at the final press conference ahead of Saturday's undisputed heavyweight fight in Riyadh.

Fury looked like he was having a nervous breakdown during the press conference, completely intimidated by Usyk. He couldn't match Usyk and he looked like someone with stage fright. Fury's shameful act angered X-fans, many of whom felt that their hero was realizing he was out of the league.

Fans on social media believe that WBC champion Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) was afraid to look into the eyes of the tiger, Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), knowing what he will do on Saturday night in their match. an irrefutable contradiction. The way Usyk looked, like a cat, ready to pounce.

This does not look good for Fury, who has lost the swagger he once had. I wouldn't be surprised because if you look at how soft Fury has been since his big one win over Klitschko, this is a very different beast that he faces on Saturday.

Fury looked scared all over, not the old man people remembered him as. Some believe that being beaten by Fury in his last fight against the young Francis Ngannou took away his confidence.

Of course, there is the delay in this fight, and Fury's mysterious stoppage that has some fans believing that he is afraid of IBF/WBA/WBO champion Usyk.

“I wouldn't say panic. He was not happy about his last fight. so he took this fight seriously,” said former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis on DAZN Boxing commenting on Tyson Fury's weight loss and whether it shows panic.

“Usually when a heavyweight goes down a lot, I've been watching him. He lost a lot of weight, and his legs were cramped. I'm worried that if he gets hit in the chin, he won't have any legs.”
