Double Olympic champion Oleg Saitov, in a conversation with , explained why the WBC heavyweight champion is British Tyson’s Fury will beat WBA (Super), WBO, IBF Ukrainian title holder Oleksandr Usyk .
Usyk beat Anthony Joshua for the second time last weekend. Fury last stepped into the ring in April when he defeated compatriot Dillian Whyte. After this fight, Fury announced his retirement (he had previously retired from boxing, but later returned).
– In short: Joshua just couldn’t win. Yes, he passed this fight better than the previous one. Although I liked the first fight more, there was more intrigue. And Joshua… If you’re going against a champion, you have to win convincingly. And on Joshua’s side, a few rounds were interesting. The first fight is more interesting.
Why did you like their first meeting more? Usyk dominated more?
“Yes, Usyk was more dominant. At the end of the fight, Joshua resisted the knockout.
Are you interested in their trilogy?
– It would be possible to see, although as such there is no great plot. I liked the second fight less, there was no fire.
– Now everyone is talking about fighting for the title of absolute world champion between Usyk and Fury.
– It will be very interesting. But I think Fury has to win for some reason. He is clumsy, tall, long-armed. Alexander will have to approach close range, and that’s not really his job. He wins primarily not because of punching power, but because of smart boxing. That is, working remotely. And then… With Fury it will be more difficult. Let’s see. After all, both sides will find their own strategy. And I wonder if they will be able to implement it. But it’s safe to say that Fury is not Joshua. Anthony has a weak chin and is slower than Fury. And in this regard, Alexander will be more difficult. In those fights, Usyk was smarter and faster than Joshua, Saitov told .
