The American believes that in the event of an equal confrontation, the judges will give rounds to Tyson as a larger fighter
American heavyweight boxer Michael Hunter believes that the holder of the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight titles Alexander Usik could cause problems for the WBC champion Tyson Furyif he acts actively.
“I still predict that Usyk will drive Tyson into despondency. The only thing is that Usik needs to figure out how to earn Fury’s respect and win rounds as a dominator. If they both stand in the ring and don’t throw punches, the rounds will go to Tyson Fury because he’s big. He naturally has more advantages in the ring. Usyk needs to earn Fury’s respect in the early rounds and quickly find his way to win segments.”
“I don’t imagine that Usyk will win the early rounds. And then I see that he may have problems in the later rounds because he will have to take risks and come up with something. But I still think that Usyk will give him a fight.”
“It’s very debatable, but I think Usyk will give Fury problems because Tyson has problems with fighters of our size who use their legs a lot. We saw him being dropped. There are several aspects to this. But the bottom line is that I don’t think Fury and Usyk will get into the ring. I hope they will, but I can’t imagine it.”
Let us remind you that Usik and Hunter fought in the first heavyweight division in April 2017. Alexander defeated Michael by unanimous decision and defended his WBO title.
The unification fight between Usik and Fury was planned for April 2023, but it did not take place. According to the “Gypsy King”, this happened due to the financial demands of the Ukrainian.
On August 26 in Wroclaw, Alexander Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois by technical knockout in the ninth round and challenged Tyson Fury to a fight. Negotiations between the parties are ongoing. The potential date for a face-to-face meeting between Tyson and Alexander is January 27, 2024.
