The famous American coach does not consider the British world champion the favorite in the upcoming match.
Tyson Fury, despite his size, will not be a favorite in the fight for the title of absolute world champion against Alexander Usik. This is what the famous American trainer Teddy Atlas thinks.
Moreover, the American specialist named the Ukrainian holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles as the most likely winner of the upcoming fight.
“Is it possible to bet against Usik? After he becomes Olympic champion, absolute heavyweight champion, heavyweight champion. I can’t bet against Alexander, because he has an invisible trump card.”
Everyone says Fury knows how to box perfectly, has a great jab, and big size. But Usyk has one major trump card. Do you know which one? He knows how to win,” Boxing Social quotes Atlas.
We remind you that the fight for the title of absolute champion of the heavyweight division between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17, 2024 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, legendary former boxer Lennox Lewis gave Fury advice for the Usik fight.
