Frank Warren named the only way for a Ukrainian boxer to become an absolute world champion.
Alexander Usik has almost no chance to become the absolute world heavyweight champion. Frank Warren, co-promoter of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, thinks so.
The functionary ensures that the British boxer is better than the Ukrainian in technical terms, and therefore the Ukrainian will not be able to outbox his opponent.
Hence, the only chance for the WBA, WBO and IBF title holder remains an early victory.
“For Tyson, the fight with Usyk will be the most difficult psychologically, because he cannot fall. Fury is under a lot of pressure. I think Usyk is not under pressure. He can win everything and lose nothing, because of everyone thinks this match is a formality, it won’t be a formality, because I believe styles make fights.
This guy won’t outbox Tyson. I’d be surprised if he did. Usyk can only win this fight if he knocks out Tyson. Fury has radically changed his style in the last 3-4 fights. He doesn’t jab, but trades with opponents. So I assumed it was a shootout. And Tyson can’t afford to make a mistake,” Warren said in an interview with the Boxing Social YouTube channel.
We remind you that Usik and Fury signed a contract for a fight that could take place on December 23 or in January in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier, former world champion Billy Joe Saunders made his prediction for the Usyk-Fury fight.
