Former Ukrainian boxer and now coach Ivan Bezverkhy gave his forecast for the upcoming fight between Alexander Usik And Tyson Fury.
“Of course, I will root for our Cossack. I believe in his victory. I don’t think it’s worth giving any advice to Sasha. I bet that the Ukrainian will win on points. Functionally it will be better prepared. He will outplay and kill the British. At least, I really hope so,” “Champion” quotes Bezverkhy.
It is worth noting that Bezverkhy and Fury met twice as amateurs. In the first match, which took place in 2007 at the Donbass Junior Cup, the Ukrainian defeated the British with a crushing score of 23-10. And in the second meeting, which took place as part of the European Championship semi-finals, Bezverkhy lost to Fury.
Let us remind you that the confrontation between Usik and Fury will take place on February 17 in Saudi Arabia. At stake in this confrontation will be the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
