Malik Scott, once a strong boxer, and now a coach Deontay Wilder, believes that Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) a lot of trouble can arise in a possible duel with Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs).

In July, Usyk will have a rematch with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs). In theory, Fury has announced his retirement, but the chance of unification of all four belts could prompt him to fight again.

“I am guided only by logic, leaving emotions aside. I am convinced that Fury in a fight with Klitschko or in the first fight with Deontay would be nothing more than a nightmare for Usyka. This version of Fury would easily beat Usyk. He was sharp and moved well around the ring, but now Tyson boxing is different. His heavier and more powerful version - this Fury Usyk can defeat. This style will definitely suit him. The Ukrainian has fast legs, he can change angles and deliver accurate counterattacks. An earlier version of Fury would have beaten Usyk, but today, if I had to bet my money, I would bet on Usyk, ”Scott said.
