2021 world champion Marc Petrovski told he thought Tyson Fury favorite in the fight with Alexandre Usik while the Russian boxer does not completely believe in the reality of their meeting.
The fight for the absolute world heavyweight title between Usik and Fury is scheduled to take place on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.
“I stick to the boxing adage that a good big boxer should beat a good little boxer.” Here is the answer to the question about the prediction of the meeting between Usik and Fury. I think Fury (will win). And this despite his fight with MMA fighter Francis Ngannou. I admit, I didn’t watch the entire fight, I only saw excerpts. I think Fury took this fight as a breeze and didn’t prepare much. In general, I’m inclined to win Fury. But he must be in good shape, as he usually is. Even if I don’t believe at all that their fight will take place. Too often their meeting was postponed,” Petrovsky, who will meet Australian Lucas Browne at the IBA Night of Champions tournament on December 9 in Dubai, told .
Usik is the holder of the unified WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight titles, Fury is the WBC world champion. The winner of the fight will become the absolute world champion in this weight category.
Fury is undefeated in the professional ring, having won 34 times (24 by knockout) and ending one fight in a draw. Usik has 21 victories (14 by KO) and not a single defeat.
