In the first half of 2023, the reigning champions of the heavyweight division are Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and Briton Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) should fight for the title of absolute world champion. Beijing 2008 bronze medalist British heavyweight David Price declared with confidence that his compatriot would win.
“When Joshua made Usyk back to the ropes and tried to use his size advantage instead of standing and leading a chess game, it seemed to me that he managed to wear down the Ukrainian.
What Tyson Fury does better than anyone else is using his height and size. This is one of his greatest strengths. He's an expert at getting his opponent to feel who's the biggest in the ring, and I think he'll do the same against Usyk. He will lean on him, he will fight dirty, and I believe that he will probably win in not the most spectacular fight. I think Fury will win on points,” Price said in an interview with iD Boxing.
