The meeting between the Ukrainian and the British, which determined the first absolute world heavyweight champion since 1999, will take place on February 17 in Riyadh.
“I don’t know who will win. Anything can happen, and my experience in boxing tells me that until the starting bell rings, anything is possible. For example, if someone feels that they are not ready, the fight may be cancelled.
The fight with Francis Ngannou was a wake-up call for Fury. If he prepares for Usyk in the same way as for the fight with Ngannou, big problems await him. At the moment, I am inclined to win Usik because of his skills and dedication to boxing,” BoxingScene quotes Zhilei.
