Buddy McGirt assessed Usik's chances in the fight with Fury

Famous American trainer Buddy McGirt shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight for the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight division between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

McGirt believes the Ukrainian is capable of beating the Briton if he can find a way to neutralize his opponent's clear size advantage.

"Personally, I think Usik has the style to beat Tyson Fury, but Tyson Fury is one of the best fighters at using his size as an advantage. He's very good and consistent at it. The big question is how Usik will handle it from the sixth to the 12th round," McGirt said in an interview with YouTube channel Boxing Social.

Usik's fight against Fury is expected to take place on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.
