Former world champion, boxing legend Mike Tyson is confident that Tyson Fury will defeat Alexander Usik and become the new absolute champion in the heavyweight division.
URA-Inform reports this, citing Boxing Scene.
Steel Mike called Fury the best boxer in the modern heavyweight division.
“I'm looking forward to this fight. This will be an exciting battle. I'm betting on Tyson Fury because I'm sure he's the strongest at the moment
Fury will simply outplay Usik. In my mind, Fury — the best boxer in the world, especially in the heavyweight division. Of course, big fighters may lose, they may not look so impressive, but that doesn’t stop them from being great,” — said Mike Tyson.
He added that one should not dwell on Fury’s rather poor performance in the fight against Francis Ngannou, now Fury is much more serious.
It is worth noting that Usik will enter the ring against Fury this Saturday, May 18.
Let us remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury could become especially dangerous: important information about the chosen referee has appeared.
