Don Charles believes that “Tsygansky” will win the fight king.”
Don Charles, coach of British super heavyweight boxer Daniel Dubois, shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the WBO world champion , WBA, IBO and IBF Alexander Usik and WBC title holder Tyson Fury.
In his opinion, the fight will end in an easy victory for the “Gypsy King.”
“I was always inclined to think that Fury would beat Usyk. It was like that long before Daniel fought Usyk. Long before I became Dubois' trainer.
If this is the Fury we want we know, if he trains, and I believe that he is preparing for this fight, then I will say that he will play with Usyk,” Charles said in an interview with the BoxNation YouTube channel..
Note that that in his previous fight on the night of August 27, 2023, Usikknocked outDubois in the ninth round and defended the WBO, WBA, IBO and IBF heavyweight world titles.
The Usyk-Fury fight will take place on May 18 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The fight was scheduled for February 17, but due to an injury the Briton received during one of the sparrings, it had to be postponed.
To avoid another breakdown of the fight, the organizers established sanctions, which will be applied to Usik or Fury if one of them does not enter the ring on May 18. Boxersface a huge fineif they refuse to fight on the scheduled date.
The winner of the Usyk-Fury fight will become the first undisputed world champion in the heavyweight division in the 21st century.
The last “absolute” in the heavyweight division was Lennox Lewis, who achieved this status in 1999 when he defeated Evander Holyfield. Back then, the WBA, WBC and IBF titles were at stake. The WBO belt was recognized as equal in 2007, so the winner of the fight between Usyk and Fury will become the first ever “absolute” heavyweight with four major titles.
