Upon introspection, I realised that Usyk is really a perfect foil to Fury. These two are complete opposites in several different ways.

1. Usyk is one of the most humble boxers, Fury is one of the biggest narcissists in the sport (I struggle to name someone with an even more inflated ego).

2. Usyk is one of the smallest heavyweights right now, Fury is among the biggest.

3. Usyk was willing to accept a 70/30 split of the fight purse in favour of Fury, Fury initially demanded $500 million for the fight (Greedy Belly is a fitting nickname for him).

4. Usyk takes on all challenges, Fury avoids them.

5. Usyk is generally respectful to his opponents, Fury is an aggressive trash talker.

6. Usyk is quite honest and genuine, Fury is a pathological liar.

There is a yin and yang dynamic between these two and their rivalry is more interesting now that I think about it in this context.
