Legendary American boxer Roy Jones Jr. admitted that the WBA title holder, WBO and IBF Heavyweight Championship Oleksandr Usyk may not be able to cope with the blows of the former division leader Deontay Wilder.
“I am not attracted to the idea of Usyk vs. Fury. I didn't like that fight then, and I don't like it now. Why? The answer is in Usyk's battle with Dubois. What happens if Wilder punches Usyk in the body? Some are sure that the blow was legitimate and Usyk should have been counted as a knockout. This whole situation opens up a lot more chances for guys who can hit hard,” Jones said in an edition of the author’s YouTube channel.
Recall, on August 26, Usyk knocked out Daniel Dubois in the ninth round. In the fifth three-minute period, the Ukrainian missed a blow below the belt, after which he recovered for a long time.
