Fury will seriously prepare for the confrontation with the Ukrainian
Manager of the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury Spencer Brown I am confident in the British’s easy victory over the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO world champion Alexander Usik in a unification battle for the title of absolute world champion.
“Of course, we believe that Tyson will beat Usik. I feel like you’ll see a lot more from Tyson. Alexander is a nice guy, but now he is dealing with a fighter of a different caliber. You’ll see skills on February 17, but do we need them? Tyson is a big guy. He will stop Usyk within the first five rounds.”
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the event was planned to be organized on December 23. However, it later became clear that the “Gypsy King” would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
