Roy Jones weighs in on the chances of Usik and Fury in their upcoming fight

Dmitriy Kel March 5, 2024, 3:37 a.m.

Famous American boxing veteran Roy Jones Jr. shared his thoughts on the fight for the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight division between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and British Tyson Fury , which is scheduled for May 18 in Riyadh.

"I like both fighters. It's a tough fight. If Tyson will be in the same shape as in the fight with Ngannou, Usik will definitely win. But if he is hungry and perfectly prepared, a good big boxer will always beat a good small boxer.

There are moments when size doesn't matter. For example, when you are an explosive boxer, the size of your opponent doesn't matter to you. Explosiveness destroys anyone. Usik is good and strong, but he's not explosive," Boxing Scene quoted Jones as saying.
