The ex-champion believes that it will be difficult for Alexander to cope with the size of the Briton
Former world welterweight champion Chris Algieri believes that the world champion according to WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO in heavyweight Alexander Usyk it will be difficult to cope with the size of the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury.
“Usyk is a tactician, a strategist who moves well and uses the fundamentals like a southpaw. “Usyk’s team said that Fury is vulnerable to some of the tricks that southpaws use.”
“The antenna remains invisible while remaining outside the front leg. He always wins the battle for position. But he must be alert all night long. Twelve rounds is a very long time for a guy who will have a functional weight advantage of 55 to 60 pounds.”
“Tyson Fury is a big man and he knows how to use his size. He’s a big, athletic, agile guy who moves well, has a good jab and knows how to use dirty boxing at close range. He leans on you.
Can Usyk use his legs enough rounds to avoid Tyson Fury’s size advantage? Fury has a great gas tank and is very agile. “Usyk has never lost, but I don’t have any fight plan to beat Fury.”
The unification fight between Usik and Fury will take place on May 18. The list of other fights that will take place as part of the boxing evening in Saudi Arabia is also known. Among them is the fight between Ukrainian Daniel Lapin and Portuguese Octavio Pudivitra for the WBA Continental light heavyweight title.
The event will be hosted by Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The WBC proposes to reform the judges for the reporting fight, increasing their number to 5-6 people. Penalties for boxers who refuse to fight are $10 million.
WBC President Mauricio Suleiman announced that an agreement had been concluded between the boxers for a re-fight. The WBO is also ready to sanction the second fight. It was reported that the fate of a possible rematch depends on the holding of the first fight. Fury said that the contract has a mandatory rematch clause, and a re-fight with Usyk could take place in October.
