Athletistic / Boxing. Former Russian boxer Denis Lebedev, who became world champion in the first heavyweight division, shared his expectations for the fight between Ukrainian Alexander Usik and Briton Tyson Fury. They must fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion of the world.

The fight is scheduled for May 18. It will take place in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).

According to Lebedev, Fury must act correctly in terms of tactics.

Bellew warned Fury about the danger Usyk poses to him

“I was surprised when Joshua fought technically with Usik. A striking example of how to fight with Alexander was shown by Dereck Chisora. Usik had a slight advantage over the Briton. Just a small one. We can say that Usik does not like a direct fight, he is a supporter of the classics. Movement on the feet, jab, methodical body-head work. How Usik will work – the picture is pretty much clear. But Fury, his form is still a mystery. He needs to force the fight, he knows how to do it, “Lebedev quotes RIA Novosti.”

Usik holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles. Fury holds the WBC belt. Both boxers have never been defeated before.
