Former WBA regular champion, ex-temporary holder of the WBC heavyweight belt, Olympic champion Alexander Povetkin told which side would be his sympathies in the duel between Alexandre Usik And Tyson Fury .
The fight for the absolute world heavyweight title between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17 in Saudi Arabia. Fury is undefeated in the professional ring, having won 34 times (24 by knockout) and ending one fight in a draw. Usik, undefeated, has 21 victories (14 by KO).
– This is far from an easy fight. Alexander may be more technical, but Fury is a clumsy, clumsy and witty boxer. Well, of course he’s bigger than Usik. And size will play into Fury’s hands. And I will support… Of course, Alexander. Whatever it is, I will support it. Maybe he doesn’t understand it himself, but he’s a Russian. They themselves do not understand it, they have been deceived. In general, I will support him,” Povetkin told .
