Zhilei called the winner of the fight Usik - Fury

Chinese super heavyweight veteran Zhang Zhilei said that he considers British Tyson Fury as the favorite in the upcoming fight for the title of absolute world champion in his division against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

"I will pick Tyson Fury in this fight, but I think Oleksandr Usyk is difficult to knock out because he is too sharp, fast and tricky. I believe that in the end Fury will emerge victorious.

Can Usik win by a judges' decision? It's possible, but the chances of that outcome are slim," Zhilei said in an interview with YouTube channel Boxing Social.

The Fury-Usik fight is expected to take place on May 18 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
