The legendary American boxer believes that the Ukrainian champion has only one chance to defeat the Briton.
Legendary boxer Roy Jones gave advice to Alexander Usik for his fight with Tyson Fury. According to the former American champion, the Ukrainian can only defeat the British boxer if he knocks him out.
“Usyk’s weaknesses are that he doesn’t have explosive punching power, and that’s kryptonite for Fury, because Ngannou has explosive punching power, and he was able to drop him. Wilder had that, and Deontay was able to knock Fury out several times. During his career, Tyson fell many times, but always got up, it says a lot, it takes a lot of explosive energy to miss him, but even a cruiser with explosive power can do it, because Steve Cunningham did it.
Usyk needs to knock Fury out, but can he keep him on the canvas? They haven’t done it yet. How many times can Usyk knock Fury down without getting up? If Usik fails to drop Fury, I don’t see him winning this fight,” Boxing Social quoted Jones as saying.
The fight between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, the ex-world champion suggested that Fury might not fight Usik.
