Taylor considers Fury the favorite to fight Usyk

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 21, 2024, 11:49 p.m.

Former undisputed world champion in junior welterweight Josh Taylor shared his forecast for the upcoming fight between the WBA, WBO and IBF champion in the heavyweight division Alexander Usik and WBC title holder Tyson Fury, which will take place on February 17 in Riyadh.

“I think a good big fighter will beat a good little fighter. I think Fury is too big. I think he will try to use this as an advantage. You saw that Usyk doesn’t like body blows, but based on his last two performances, Tyson didn’t look great either. So this is a difficult fight to predict. I’m confident Fury will win, but I think Usyk has the style and skills to be his nightmare,” Taylor said in an interview with IFL TV.
