Joe does not see a favorite in the battle between Usyk and Fury
Interim WBO World Heavyweight Champion Joe Joyce declared that the clear favorite in the battle between WBC Champion Tyson Fury And WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO title holder Oleksandr Usyk No.
“Pay attention to how Alexander fought the second fight with Anthony Joshua. From the starting gong, he began to throw a lot of blows. And at the same time, he did not stagnate, he was constantly moving, but he kept his opponent at a convenient distance, that is, close. Yes, Fury has a longer reach, he is taller and he has a solid jab. But how to resist Usyk’s efficiency? I think Fury will have to clinch much more often and use all this “big man’s arsenal”.
“Usyk has a crazy record. He has about 350 amateur fights and very few losses. The same is true for professionals. He was an absolute in cruiserweight, and in heavyweight he doesn’t fight with some no-names. So he’s really good. What am I leading to? Plus it’s a much more competitive fight. In vain, fans believe that Fury will wipe the canvas of the ring with Usyk.
Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krasyuk said he was optimistic about the imminent signing of a contract for a unification fight. At the same time, the Ukrainian side insists on the distribution of income “50:50”, given that Usyk owns three championship titles, and Tyson – one.
Fury and Usyk plan to hold a face-to-face fight for the title of absolute world champion on April 29 in London at Wembley Stadium. Fury’s promoters are urging the Ukrainian to fight in London, as the stadium in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) does not have time to build by the date of the fight.
