Mayweather named the favorite for the Usyk-Fury fight after Tyson's unconvincing performance

Famous American trainer Jeff Mayweather expressed the opinion that the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury remains the favorite in the fight with the owner of the remaining titles in the division Alexander Usik, even despite the Briton’s disastrous performance in his recent fight with Francis Ngannou.

“I think Fury will beat Usyk. Yes, I'm still inclined to win. Alexander is a cruiser who just gained weight. Fury still knows how to beat him.

Perhaps Tyson was in bad shape when he fought Ngannou. “I don’t know, but Francis made him look terrible and hurt his position,” Mayweather said in the latest episode of his YouTube channel.

Usik and Fury will fight on February 17 in Riyadh.
