Fury's sparring partner gave a prediction for his fight with Usik

Kevin Lerena, Tyson Fury's sparring partner, has spoken out about the upcoming fight between Tyson and Oleksandr Usyk.

"Usik is a phenomenal boxer. I don't know him personally, but he's a phenomenal boxer. It's undeniable. We saw what he did at featherweight, we see what he's doing at super heavyweight. He's a good, trained boxer. But if Fury is in the same shape he is now, he's capable of handling any opponent. Including Oleksandr Usyk. I think Tyson will win," - said Lerena in an interview with BoxNation.

Recall, the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will be held on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At stake will be the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight division.
