The former WBO world champion spoke about the strength of both opponents in the title fight.
Sergei Dzinziruk could not determine the favorite of the future confrontation for the title of absolute champion of the world in the heaviest division.
The former WBO junior middleweight world champion believes that Oleksandr Usik and Tyson Fury have strong sides, and therefore the fight between the Ukrainian and the Briton can end in victory for either opponent.
“I’m rooting for Sanka. I really want him to defeat this gypsy. But even when I was talking with friends, I said that it’s 50/50. How the fight will go. Both boxers have their advantages. Sasha is speed, experience, agility , a sense of distance These are his chips, thanks to which he should win.
But we know Fury. How he can hit, how he can endure. A healthy one. Therefore, for me it’s 50/50, I can’t single anyone out.
It’s hard to predict anything in boxing. One good blow will decide the whole fight. Fury is an unconventional boxer, that’s his advantage. He hits any position and is very powerful. You see what he is… Not only arrogant, but he looks like a champion in the ring. Therefore, it will be very difficult for Sasha to box with him. But Sasha, as we have seen in recent matches, has something incredible. He is preparing and I know he will give it his all.
Is there a big difference in weight between Usik and Fury?… Fury thanks to his weight, mass, height… These are all his advantages. And for Usik it is speed and agility. And thanks to this he should win. That’s why I say that it’s exactly 50/50 here who will stick to the plan for the fight for all 12 rounds will win,” said Dzinziruk Tribune.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury will take place on May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Usik’s former rival revealed how the Ukrainian’s fight with Fury could end.
