The fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion will take place on May 18
British boxer Derek Chisora spoke about a factor that can help the WBC title holder Tyson Fury in a duel against the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO world heavyweight champion Alexandra Usik.
“Tyson looks good. I saw his father holding his paws. People underestimate the bond between father and son when they work together. This is incredible.
If Tyson has his father in his corner, he will easily beat Usik. That’s all. It’s going to be a great fight and his dad knows what to do. He spent his entire life watching fights and fighting himself.
That’s why his father should be the head coach. I liked that he trains with his father,” Chisora said.
The unification fight between Usik and Fury was first scheduled for February 17, but due to Tyson’s injury it was postponed to May 18. The event will be hosted by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The WBC proposes to reform the judges for the reporting fight, increasing their number to 5-6 people. Penalties for boxers who refuse to fight are $10 million.
WBC President Mauricio Suleiman announced that an agreement had been concluded between the boxers for a re-fight. The WBO is also ready to sanction the second fight. It was reported that the fate of a possible rematch depends on the holding of the first fight. Fury said that the contract has a mandatory rematch clause, and a re-fight with Usyk could take place in October.
