British boxer David Allen told what tactics his compatriot should choose Tyson Fury in the upcoming fight with the Ukrainian Alexander Usikto claim victory.
The meeting of these fighters, with the title of absolute heavyweight champion at stake, will take place on February 17 in Riyadh.
“I spent many rounds trying to put pressure on Usyk, to bully him - it doesn’t work. Alexander handles this masterfully. I think Usik needs to be annoyed and enraged. You have to feint a lot, move around a lot, work against him with his own weapons.
Usik is not physically the strongest, he does not have the most powerful blow. He wins because of his IQ. But I believe Fury is the only boxer who can beat Usyk at his own game. There is no need to immediately go to Alexander. Start carefully, lots of tricks. And only when he slows down can you turn on your size,” Allen said in an interview with BBTV Boxing.
