6 Reasons Why Tyson Fury Will Beat Oleksandr Usyk
‘The Gypsy King’ will be looking to make a statement in his upcoming showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury’s last performance in the ring did not quite go to plan, despite still coming away with the victory and his unbeaten record in-tact. The 35-year-old was knocked down in the third round by former UFC champion Francis Ngannou on his boxing debut, with the Cameroonian’s impressive performance throughout making many believe that he was worthy of the victory. However, Fury still came away with a very controversial split decision win after a lacklustre performance.
To put things right this time out, he certainly faces an uphill battle against the Ukrainian Usyk. The 37-year-old currently holds the WBA, IBO, IBF and WBO belts, having defeated the likes of Joshua, Derek Chisora, Tony Bellew and Daniel Dubious throughout his illustrious career.
Despite ‘The Gypsy King’ trying to play mind games in recent weeks with Usyk, during a recent interview with Queensberry Promotions, he was rather complimentary of his opponent and recognised just how hard the challenge would be.
He said: “Oleksandr Usyk’s a real bad man and to underestimate Usyk, you’d be a mug. I respect Usyk as a man. I respect his career as well – Olympic champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion, unified heavyweight champion. You have to respect that; I’m fighting the real deal. I’m looking forward to the challenge. He’s proved he can mix with the big heavyweights because he’s beat Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. I’m messing with an elite fighter.”
After what feels like years of build-up, the clash between Fury and Usyk is less than two weeks away. The fight promises to be one of the most intriguing spectacles in recent boxing history.
