The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world called the Ukrainian boxer’s chances good in a possible fight.
Another famous boxer Oleksandr Usyk called the chances of success in a possible fight with Tyson Fury high. Like Hasim Rahman, Lennox Lewis believes that the size of the WBC champion may not be an advantage, but a disadvantage in a duel with a Ukrainian.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world suggested that the WBA, IBF and WBO champion could knock out an opponent.
“I think if Fury wants to keep his legacy, he should fight Usyk. Because I think Usyk will beat him. Tyson Fury knows that his main advantage is speed because most heavyweights are very slow and he was good at boxing against them.
If you fight a boxer like Steve Cunningham, things may not go according to plan. I think Usyk is in his prime and is a perfect fit for the heavyweight division. I think he can beat Tyson Fury. Size will be an advantage over most of the heavyweights in front of you that Tyson will lean on and grab. But Usyk is not one of them. He will make small rushes in all twelve rounds. And I think that Tyson will fizzle out, and then maybe Usyk knock him out,” said Lewis in an interview with FightHype.
