The Ukrainian and the Briton will fight on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"Usik will win on points - 100%. I thought Anthony Joshua would beat him in the first fight, so I'm not saying that because I lost to him. Against which style is Fury's most difficult? Against a fighter on the back foot. Usik wants you to attack him. He makes you look like a complete fool. Alexander will leave Tyson Fury no choice but to attack him as he will create an advantage early in the fight and Tyson Fury will chase the ghost.
Fury will not run after Usik like a madman, as this will play into Usik's hands. But at moments Tyson will have to press, and in this he will fail," - quotes Bellew Eurosport.

"Everybody knows I don't cheat. Why didn't they tell me about it sooner if they took a sample before the fight? Why did they let me get in the ring and win if I'm a cheater? This is another attack by certain people on me. I've never taken steroids in my life. I don't even know where to get them," said Garcia in a video published in social networks.
Recall, the fight between Garcia and Haney took place on April 21, ending with a victory of Ryan by decision of the majority of judges.
