Michael Hunter (20-1-2, 14 KOs) in his professional career he lost only Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). He also knows well Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), whom he met as amateurs. Based on his experience, Hunter made his choice in a possible fight for the unification of all heavyweight belts.

“Usyk can give Fury a lot of trouble. He just needs to get on his feet more than he did with Joshua and hit harder. He could catch Joshua and pick up the pace as soon as Joshua got tired. This tactic won't work with Fury. He has no problems with stamina, he holds a punch better and is much larger. He's also a better boxer than Joshua without all those muscles. So moving around the ring and dancing on your feet won't work against Fury the way it did against Joshua. He knows how to spin the enemy and lock him at the ropes. So Usyk will have to stand more and hit more often,” Hunter believes.

“Fury remains my favorite. It will be difficult for anyone to defeat him. I expect Tyson to win on points, but Usyk will definitely give him problems, and it will be a fairly equal fight, ”added the American, number one in the WBA rating.
