In the heavyweight division, anyone can be knocked out
WBC World Champion Coach Tyson Fury Sugarhill Steward believes WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk poses a real threat to his ward. According to him, in heavyweight any fighter can be knocked out.
“The threat Usyk poses to Fury is that Alexander knows how to win,” Steward said.
“Of course, Usyk is a good fighter. I like to look at him. I love what he does in the ring. He can pose a threat to Tyson because he can snatch wins. It makes the fight interesting.”
“And he is a heavyweight. Tyson has already been knocked down. Usyk has knocked out heavy guys before. This is a heavyweight division where anyone can go down or get knocked out. Division of big grandfathers.
In the fight for the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight title, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua. Following the results of all twelve rounds, Alexander defeated Joshua by a split decision: 115-113, 116-112 and 113-115.
Immediately after defeating Anthony in a rematch, Usyk challenged WBC champion Tyson Fury to a fight. In turn, the Gypsy King demands 500 million dollars for a unification fight with the Ukrainian.
The head of Top Rank, Bob Arum, said that Fury’s fight with Usyk could take place on February 11 or 18 in the Middle East. According to him, the fight in 2022 is unlikely.
