British heavyweight Tyson Fury will have no problem in a fight with Ukrainian Alexander Usyk. This opinion was shared with by the former contender for the WBC heavyweight belt, American Kevin Johnson, who is awaiting Russian citizenship.
It was previously reported that Usyk and Fury had signed a contract for the fight, but there was no official announcement of the date and location of the meeting.
– Fury will easily beat Usyk. He is too tall. Yes, Usyk is lean and moves well, but Fury can do it too. He is much stronger as a boxer. “It will all depend on how long Usik lasts after the sixth round,” Johnson told .
Usyk (21-0, KO 14) holds the WBA Super, WBO, IBF and IBO titles. The last time the Ukrainian boxer entered the ring was at the end of August, when he beat the British Daniel Dubois ahead of schedule, but in this fight there was a controversial moment with a low blow delivered on Usyk. Fury (33-0-1, KO 24) is scheduled to fight under boxing rules with former UFC belt holder Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
