Fury’s promoter said the Briton was the favourite, and Usyk was never the same

Tyson Fury is the favorite in the upcoming confrontation for the title of absolute world champion against Oleksandr Usyk. This is what British boxer promoter Bob Arum thinks.

At the same time? a well-known American functionary said: victory will happen only if there is proper preparation for the Ukrainian resistance.

“I believe we’re in for a great fight. It’s definitely a historic event. I always thought Fury was a huge favorite in this fight because of his size and his boxing ability.

But I was really worried about how he looked in his last fight with Ngannou. i was there I thought he did a terrible job in this fight. I have two explanations. First of all, he didn’t really train. Second, when a boxer gets older, he loses some qualities, especially physically. If it is, we’ll find out on May 18th.

If Tyson was at his best. If we see Fury, who has been in the last two fights with Wilder, fight White, then Usyk or another heavyweight cannot beat him. Still, there are a lot of questions left to which we will find the answers very soon,” said Arum in a comment to BoxNation.

In addition, Arum suggested that the Ukrainian may not be in the best condition of his career.

“Usik is a great athlete, but if you look at him, maybe he’s not what he used to be.

Maybe he is vulnerable to body shots? I watched the tape of his fight with Daniel Dubois. It is debatable whether there is a low blow there. The blow can be declared legitimate because it hit the waist. It took Usyk five minutes to recover from this.

So the question is, is his body tired? We don’t know that,” said Arum.

We remind you that Usik’s fight with Fury is scheduled for May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

Earlier, the legendary Roy Jones spoke about why Fury should beat Usik.
