Just a month ago, the legendary boxer confidently bet on Fury in this confrontation, but the Briton’s unconvincing performance in the fight with Francis Ngannou forced him to change his mind.
“Fury’s performance in the fight with Ngannou was not at a high level. Perhaps he had no doubt about his victory. And life shows that if you take something for granted, then it will backfire on you. I think that's exactly what happened with Fury. I hope he draws conclusions.
The Fury-Usyk fight will be difficult for both fighters. I think Usyk will win because he is tough, has a speed advantage and never gives up. I believe that Tyson will not be able to cope with the number of punches that Alexander will throw,” Holyfield told iFL TV.
