The legendary ex-world champion made his forecast for the upcoming meeting between the Ukrainian and British boxers.
Tyson Fury is the favorite in the upcoming fight for the title of absolute world champion against Alexander Usik. This is what the famous boxer Roy Jones thinks.
According to the ex-world champion, the result of the last fight of the British boxer against MMA fighter Francis Ngannou did not even influence. Jones believes the WBC heavyweight title holder did not prepare well for the fight in Saudi Arabia.
“My opinion has not changed. I know that the fight between Fury and Ngannou will be very difficult. Only now Usik has more confidence. That’s what happened. Until recently, it seemed like Fury was very difficult to face, but after the last away, my opinion has changed a lot .Usik now knows that Tyson’s size will not be a problem for him.
Of course, the odds will change. Many bookmakers will make Usyk the favorite today. I’d say Fury probably didn’t prepare for the Ngannou fight the same way he did for Usyk. I don’t think he was disciplined in the training camp. He trained Nganne in mind, whom he expected to beat easily. When he leaves and trains Usik mentally, he becomes a completely different fighter. Everyone should understand this,” ProBox TV quoted the American as saying.
We remind you that Tyson defeated Ngannou by split decision.
Earlier, ex-world champion Johnny Nelson predicted Fury’s fall from the boxing Olympus after the Ngannou fight.
