Jonathan Banks, ex-trainer of the former heavyweight division leader Vladimir Klitschko, spoke about the recently announced fight for the title of absolute champion in this weight between Alexander Usik And Tyson Fury.
It is expected that the long-awaited fight between the Ukrainian and the British will take place in Saudi Arabia on December 23 or in January.
“I’m not rooting for anyone in particular, but from a boxing point of view, Fury has the advantage, so he’s been in the heavyweight division longer and has beaten the best champions there. He's used to fighting heavyweights.
They are both excellent boxers, but Usik’s problem is that he will have to fight against an opponent almost twice his size, who can box just as well, and who has just as good, if not better, footwork,” the Boxing News 24 specialist quotes.
