WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik knocks out WBC belt holder Tyson Fury due to the advantage in speed if their duel ever takes place. This opinion was expressed by the famous former two-time heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman.
“Fury’s main advantage is that his opponents are too slow and Tyson uses his boxing skills against them. But Usyk is at his peak and can defeat Tyson.
Usyk is not the kind of boxer who will stand motionless opposite you; he will not allow you to use your size advantages against him. Rather, on the contrary, he will turn his height and mass against Fury. In 12 rounds, Usik will exhaust Fury and then most likely knock him out,” Rahman said in an interview with Fight Hype.
Let us remember that in one of his last interviews, Fury said that he would fight with Usyk only if he received a lucrative financial offer.
