British boxer Chris Eubank Jr does not believe that the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will be the favorite in the fight with the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Alexander Usik after his speech against Francis Ngannou.
“He was not active, did not demonstrate boxing ability and did not use his size. A guy who has never boxed comes out and can compete or sometimes dominate rounds - crazy. For this reason, I think Fury deserved to lose.
I think maybe this will light a fire under his ass: “Okay, I need to get my act together because if I go against Usyk like I did against Ngannou, I won’t have a chance to win.” Now I think Fury will probably be the underdog,” BoxingScene quotes Eubank Jr.
Before the fight with Ngannou, Fury insisted that the fight with Usyk should take place on December 23. After the fight, Warren said that the fight for the absolute title would take place early next year.
