Tyson Fury, known for his imposing presence in the boxing ring, is preparing to face Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk, holding three world title belts, is ready to defend his titles against Fury.

Roy Jones Jr., a legend in the boxing world who made history 21 years ago by winning the WBA title, shared his thoughts on the upcoming match. He said, "I like both guys. It's a tough fight to call. If Tyson Fury comes out and is not hungry like he was against [Francis] Ngannou, then Usyk will definitely beat him. But if he's hungry, a good big man usually beats a good small man."

Jones Jr.'s victory over John Ruiz for the WBA title back in 2002 is still remembered as a significant moment in boxing history.

The fight between Fury and Usyk is highly anticipated for its potential to crown an undisputed heavyweight champion. The clash was arranged after Usyk claimed three world title belts against Anthony Joshua, drawing attention from fans worldwide.

On another note related to exciting heavyweight bouts, Anthony Joshua is set to face Francis Ngannou live on DAZN PPV on March 8. Fans are eagerly waiting for this event as well.

As May 18 approaches, anticipation builds around who will hold the undisputed heavyweight title - Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk?
