Oleksandr Usyk uses black straps called 'pneumatic restriction cuffs' during training to restrict blood flow and oxygen to the muscles. This method makes the muscles temporarily stronger and can also aid in weight gain and rehabilitation.
Oleksandr Usyk is regularly pictured with black straps on both arms during training – but it is backed up by science.The Ukrainian is the only man to have beaten Fury as a professional and is yet to taste defeat in the paid ranks since turning pro in 2013 after winning the World Championships in 2011 (amateur) and a gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.

The technique can also be used to help weight gain for those moving up the divisions or even as a tool to aid rehabilitation from injury. “BFR training enables us to do this without having to use high volumes and minimises the risk of causing further injury to the afflicted limb”, read the report.How to watch Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usykwith no subscription required.
