John Fury believes the WBC super heavyweight belt holder should adapt his style to the Ukrainian.
If Tyson Fury does not adapt his fighting style to the style of Oleksandr Usik, it will be difficult for him to hope for success in the confrontation with the Ukrainian. This is what the father of WBC super heavyweight belt holder John Fury said.
The man warned his son against a serious mistake in the fight for the title of absolute world champion.
“With Usik he needs a completely different style, this is a completely different fighter. If you go back many years, you can watch the Gerry Cooney-Michael Spinks fight on the Internet. Michael Spinks is a bloated light heavyweight who at that time weighing just over 90 kg.
Gerry Cooney is 2m tall, 114kg and look what happened. These are fast fighters, and you can’t go straight ahead, trying to bomb such fighters. Do you know why? They see it happening and they are ashamed.
“Usyk is very good, he moves well, he has a good head on his shoulders, he works well on his feet, and the style that brings success in fights against Deontay Wilder and Francis Ngannou is not suitable for a fight against to a fighter like Usyk,” John Fury told Boxing Social.
We remind you that the Usyk-Fury fight will take place on February 17 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Fury’s sparring partner explained why the Briton almost lost to Ngannou.
