The legendary former American boxer has named a new favorite in the fight for the title of absolute champion.
Evander Holyfield changed his mind about the winner of the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Previously, the former legendary boxer preferred the Briton.
However, the uncertain performance of the holder of the WBC belt in the fight against Francis Ngannou increased the confidence of the American in the ability of the Ukrainian to win the title.
“Fury didn’t perform well from Ngannou. Maybe he took his victory for granted. And life shows you that if you take something for granted, it can backfire on you. I think it backfired it’s up to Fury, that he will draw conclusions after this fight. .
The Fury-Usyk fight will be tough for both. I think Usik will win because Alexander is a tough fighter who doesn’t give up and is faster. I believe that Tyson Fury will not be able to handle the amount of punches that he will throw,” said Holyfield in an interview with YouTube channel iFL TV.
We remind you that the Usyk-Fury fight will take place on February 17, 2024 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Let’s remember that Mike Tyson previously named his favorite in the fight between Usik and Fury.
