WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belt holder Oleksandr Usyk believes that his potential opponent WBC champion Tyson Fury is acting overly emotionally to protect himself from psychological pressure.
It's important for him to maintain his mental advantage. I think he's protecting himself that way. He can't deal with his emotions and expresses them this way.
