Former WBA, IBF and WBO super heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (27-3) believes that WBA, IBF and WBO super heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk (21-0) will defeat WBC super heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-0) .
“I want to attend this battle. You’ve probably heard this more than once, but I think Usyk is a phenomenal fighter, and he has a great team around him. You’re only as good as your team, and Usyk has a really great team. Having been in the ring with him and studied him, I believe he will win”Joshua told iFL TV.
Former world boxing champion Lennox Lewis believes that the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will be reminiscent of a battle between a rabbit and a giraffe.
In a commentary for Fight Hub TV, he noted that both fighters have different styles, which he believes will lead to an exciting fight.
According to Lewis, the smaller Usyk is rabbit-like in his movement around the ring.
–This is no disrespect, everyone has a beast inside and he reminds me of a little rabbit because he moves very well and no one can catch him. Then I look at Tyson Fury – he looks like a giraffe. I see them as two animals fighting each other, but who will win? Will it be a rabbit or a giraffe?Lewis said.
He added that he believes that the Ukrainian will have to move a lot during the fight.
Lewis noted that Usyk would not be an easy opponent for Tyson Fury. He also noted that Alexander is a former undisputed heavyweight champion. He added: “The man is a winner, he hates to lose.”
The former coach of the unified heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Alexander Usik, American James Ali Bashir, in a conversation with a British blogger, expressed his thoughts about the Ukrainian’s upcoming fight for the title of absolute world champion.
“The only thing that separates Oleksandr Usik from the title of absolute champion is Tyson Fury. I think he can do it. This will be a very difficult fight for both guys. Because they both understand what’s at stake. Tyson Fury wants to become the absolute champion, Oleksandr Usyk wants to become the absolute champion. So both of them will put everything they have into this battle. And believe me, you won’t see the same Fury you saw against Ngannou. You’ll see a completely different Fury.”
“Usik is an unpredictable boxer. You don’t know what kind of Oleksandr Usyk will be in the fight. Have you seen Harry Houdini, David Copperfield? This is what you see when you look at Usyk. Usik is David Copperfield and Harry Houdini. You don’t know which Usyk you’ll face in the ring. He is a capable, strong-willed man, and when he is in the ring, he knows that this is his finest hour. And he is one of the few fighters in the world who can rise to this level. He has such a psychology. Not everyone can do this. Oleksandr Usyk is a special guy, he is unpredictable and difficult to fight. A lot will be against you when you box Oleksandr Usyk. That’s why I believe he will win this battle. He will win either by unanimous decision or split decision over Tyson Fury. And he will become the absolute world champion.”
