Chris Algieri gives his prediction for the fight for the title of absolute champion of the super heavyweight division.
Alexander Usik has no chance against Tyson Fury in the fight for the title of absolute super heavyweight champion. Chris Algieri thinks so.
The former world champion paid tribute to the Ukrainian boxer and his skill, however, he believes it is not enough to beat an opponent like the Briton.
According to the expert, the WBC title holder is too busy with an opponent for Usyk, who will have difficulty coming up with a winning plan for the fight.
“Usyk is a tactician, a good moving strategist, great in using the fundamentals. He’s a southpaw with good skills. Usyk’s team said that Fury is sensitive to some southpaw tricks.
The mustache tries to become invisible, behind the opponent’s front leg. He always wins the battle for position, but he has to focus continuously throughout the night. Twelve rounds is a very long time, especially against a guy who will have a 55-60 pound advantage.
Tyson Fury is a great fighter and he knows how to use his size. He is big, muscular, agile, moves well and has a good jab. The type that knows how to use dirty boxing up close. Fury continued to lean on his opponent.
Can Usyk use his legs enough spin to avoid Tyson Fury’s size advantage? Tyson has a great gas tank and is very agile. Usyk has not lost yet, but I have no plans for him to beat Fury,” Algieri was quoted as saying by ProBox TV.
We remind you that Usik’s fight with Fury is scheduled for May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, coach Fury noticed Usik’s main quality.
