The former legendary boxer sees the Briton as the favorite in the fight, but not one hundred percent.
Roy Jones spoke about the fight for the absolute world champion title between Tyson Fury and Alexander Usik.
The former legendary boxer believes that the Briton and the Ukrainian deserve each other.
However, the American gives the advantage in the fight to the holder of the WBC heavyweight title. According to Jones, Usyk will only win if the Briton is not seriously prepared for the fight.
“I like them both. This fight will be difficult, and it is not so easy to evaluate. If Tyson Fury comes out furious and does not want victory, as he did in the fight with Francis Ngannou, Usyk will definitely win .But if he comes furiously, then, As is often the case, a known strong will defeat a known lesser strong.
The mustache is not too small for Fury. But if you’re very groovy, then it doesn’t matter what your measurements are. Fervor can destroy anyone. Usyk is good and powerful, but he’s not explosive,” Boxing Scene quotes Jones as saying.
We remind you that the Usyk-Fury fight was supposed to take place on February 17, but Fury received a cut in sparring. Because of this, the match was postponed to May 18.
In the past, Fury has said he could die fighting Usik.
