The former world champion believes that there will be no favorites in the upcoming fight for the title of absolute champion.
There will be no favorites in the upcoming confrontation between Oleksandr Usik and Tyson Fury. Opinion of former world champion Deontay Wilder. According to him, both the WBA/WBO/IBF title holder and the WBC champion have different skills and abilities, thanks to which they can win.
“It’s a 50/50 chance in this fight. People look at Fury’s size as a big advantage, but that doesn’t matter because Usyk can be in a low position, which will make it difficult for Tyson to reach him. If Usyk can get close and go very fast, I think speed can be a big factor.
It’s 50/50 for me and I’m glad this match is finally happening so we can get all the belts in one place. This way, it will be easier for me to fight for these titles alone, I won’t have to box with different champions who are running away from me, because they saw what I did to my last opponent, ” Dazn quoted Wilder as saying.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Wilder challenged the winner of the Usyk-Fury fight.
