Jordan Thompson compares the strength of both boxers and picks his favorite in the fight.
Tyson Fury is the favorite in the fight for the title of absolute world boxing champion. This is what Jordan Thompson, who used to be a sparring partner of both boxers, said.
According to him, both opponents move well and have a significant IQ, but the Briton will have the advantage in a future confrontation.
“To move the way Fury does – his reaction, the speed of his hands for his size, the speed of his feet – all of this is unmatched. That’s why people talk about him and Usyk – they have a lot in common. Their ring IQ – they are very smart, very calm, very level-headed, their footwork, they hit first and never let up.
Fury can make you do what he wants – that’s very common. There is a method to everything, and again – it’s very, very flexible.
With Usyk we always see that he is a phenomenal tactician and technical boxer. But with Fury, no matter what is put in front of him, he will adapt to it and come up with something to achieve victory,” talkSPORT quoted Thompson as saying.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury will take place on May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Previously, the famous British boxer Fraser Clark identified his favorite in the fight between Usik and Fury.
