Michael Bisping weighs in on Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's motivations

Tyson Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed title bout next month. UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping discussed the motivation for each fighter leading up to the bout, stating:

"They've both got silk sheets, and they've both made ridiculous amounts of money. Tyson Fury is a ridiculously wealthy man. He got paid a fortune for [the] Ngannou [fight]... Money is not a motivating factor, right? So why is he doing this? It's ego... As fighters, we all operate on ego... We need that ego to reach this kind of level."

He continued:

"The motivation for Usyk is very different. I'm sure he's got a nice bit of money, not compared to Tyson Fury, but he's still a very, very wealthy man, but his motivation, as he talked about before, there's no fashion in what he's wearing - he's doing it to represent his people, and that's what he's doing when he goes out to Saudi Arabia."
