Athletistic / Boxing. Russian national boxing coach Gennady Kovalev shared his expectations regarding the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between the British Tyson Fury and the Ukrainian Alexander Usik. This fight is scheduled to take place on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
“I like Usik. I’m impressed with his style. It’s exactly the way I prefer in the ring, but Fury knows how to use his size, he’s a real heavyweight. he’s an artificial heavyweight, but Fury… The Briton has all the dimensions, he knows how to use his weight, he can lean correctly at point blank range so that the opponent tires. Tyson is an extraordinary boxer, capable of fighting and On the move, Fury is. sensitive and looks clumsy, but he is still agile Therefore, I think Tyson will always win.
I also like the fact that before the fight he mentally eats his opponents. No one could talk to him. He “ate” the same Wilder before the fight. After that he loses, he hasn’t fought recently. Although I saw that Usik is considered the favorite,” Kovalev said as quoted by “Championship”.
Tyson Fury is the WBC heavyweight champion of the world. Alexander Usik’s collection includes champion belts in this weight category according to the WBA, WBO and IBF versions.
