Fabio Wardley (17-0, 16 KOs) assessed the chances Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and Alexandra Usika (21-0, 14 KOs), who will fight for the status of the absolute heavyweight champion on February 17. Wardley, while still striving for the top of the royal category, has been in the camp of both reigning champions in the past. And although he is closer to Fury, he is betting on the Ukrainian.
“These are different boxers. This is a unique fight, unique opponents, so both will train a little differently. Both of them have something to prove. If you ask me about my favorite, I've always leaned more toward Usyk, although that doesn't mean I'm writing Tyson off. Usyk simply always finds a way to surprise and win again. He is very cunning in the ring and does everything necessary to win a given fight. It seems to me that Usyk will leave the ring with all the belts,” said Wardley, who stopped David Adeley in the seventh round at the end of October on the undercard of the Fury vs. Ngannou fight.
