Former world champion in two weight categories from Great Britain Ricky Hatton expressed doubts about the victory of his friend and compatriot Tyson Fury in the rematch with the Ukrainian boxer, the holder of the WBC, WBA and WBO titles in the heavyweight division Oleksandr Usyk.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” , referring to dazn.com.
Hatton admitted that Fury did not show his best boxing in the fight with Usyk.
“Don’t think that I’m criticizing Fury, the last fight was worthy, but Tyson didn't look like we were used to seeing him. Perhaps I am too strict in my assessments, but masters like Usyk appear in the ring very rarely,” Hatton noted.
He also recalled Fury’s performance in the fight against Francis Ngannou, where he also did not demonstrate his usual form.
“In my opinion, Tyson himself admits my doubts,” added the British ex-champion.
By the way, earlier Usyk answered whether Fury has a real chance of victory in the rematch.
It should be noted that the rematch between Usyk and Fury is scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Their first meeting took place in May and ended with the Ukrainian winning by split decision.
It is also worth recalling that Usyk presented Zelensky with a symbol of victory.
