Former WBO heavyweight title holder Joseph Parker predicted the winner in a potential bout between the current champions Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).
“I think there is no point in asking me, because I fully support Tyson in this fight, so it will be a one-sided opinion. But I consider Usyk an excellent fighter. Look at what he achieved in boxing: he became the undisputed world heavyweight champion and rose to the heavyweight division. He wants to be a champion.
I think Usyk will give Tyson problems with his angles and mobility. But I think Fury is too big. He will eventually catch him,” Parker said in an interview with iD Boxing.
Fury and Usyk are expected to fight in the first half of next year.
