The Chinese heavyweight believes that the quality of the “Gypsy King’s” preparation for the fight will be of decisive importance
WBO interim heavyweight belt holder Zhang Zhilei believes that the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will have a hard time in the upcoming fight against the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO champion Alexandra Usikaif the Briton does not pay due attention to preparation.
“I think it all depends on the training camp and Tyson Fury’s preparation before this fight. If he prepares the same way as for the fight with Ngannou, then he will have a very difficult and long evening,” Zhang emphasized.
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the fight was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh. However, it later became clear that Tyson would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
