Manny Robles called the Ukrainian the favorite in the upcoming fight for the undisputed title
Former trainer of American heavyweight Andy Ruiz Manny Robles considers the world champion according to WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight titles Alexandra Usika favorite in the fight with the WBC title holder Tyson Fury.
“It will be a great fight. But as they say, you’re only as good as your last fight. “I believe that at the moment Usyk has an advantage.”
“We all saw Fury’s last fight. He was not in his best shape and underestimated his opponent. I think we’ve all done it. We all thought Fury would have an easy ride, but it didn’t happen. Now he needs to get ready, return to the gym and enter the fight in optimal shape, because Usyk is no joke.”
On February 17, Alexander will fight with Tyson Fury for the title of absolute heavyweight champion. The fight will officially take place 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.
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.
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
