WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik does not have a big enough name to become an opponent for the WBC title holder Tyson Fury. This opinion was expressed by the former world champion and commentator Shawn Porter.
At the end of September, it was officially announced that the Ukrainian and the British had signed an agreement for the fight. The meeting is scheduled to take place on December 23 or January in Saudi Arabia.
“This fight will not take place. Of course I would like to see it. But Fury has already worked his way up to superstar status. Having this title, he can choose who he fights with. And there is not a single chance that he will choose Usik.
Now Tyson will have superstar fights. For example, against Ngannou is not a boxing match, but a global fight. Although the fight with Usyk has been announced, we will not see them touch gloves in the center of the ring and start boxing,” Porter said in an interview with Pro Box TV.
