Barry McGuigan assessed the boxers’ chances in the fight for the title of absolute champion after the final bouts.
Tyson Fury will still be the favorite against Alexander Usik, however, now the fight against Francis Ngannou is not as unconditional as before. This is what former world champion and now coach Barry McGuigan said.
The specialist also suggested that a knockdown could happen in the fight for the title of absolute champion, because the British boxer has not yet had the best season in his career.
“I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know how many times Tyson went to the canvas. But it shows that he doesn’t have the strongest jaw. Let me remind you that in the fight with Ngannou he got up. and was more than cautious after that. In I think, that Fury won this fight, but it is not surprising. To some extent, Tyson let himself down, and in the fight with Usik, it is worth paying attention.
Fury will always be considered the favorite in this fight, but after the Ngannou fight he doesn’t seem so good anymore. Attention must be returned to Usyk. This is a battle of equal value in terms of money. If Fury fights Usik the way he fought Ngannou, Usik will outbox him,” boxing-social quotes McGuigan as saying.
Let’s remember that Carl Froch previously reported that Fury is no longer training at the same level as before.
