Mairis Briedis believes that the Ukrainian boxer has no chance against the Briton.
Mairis Briedis is betting on Tyson Fury in the fight for the title of absolute world champion against Alexander Usik.
The former world cruiserweight champion believes the Briton’s main advantage in this fight is his size. And after the initial equal rounds, the holder of the WBC belt must destroy his opponent.
“I think this fight will be a great gift for boxing fans. I think the whole world will watch this fight. Tyson Fury will fight in the same style as he fought Steve Cunningham. In I think the first six rounds will be very good. close, and then Fury will take Usyk’s head and take him out. That’s my prediction. I think size is important in this fight,” said Briedis in an interview on the Boxing UK YouTube channel.
Let’s remember that Usik and Briedis fought in 2018 in Riga. Then, based on the results of 12 rounds, the judges gave victory to the Ukrainian: 114-114, 115-113, 115-113.
It was previously reported that Usik and Fury signed a contract for a singles fight.
