Aspinall: "Fury can knock out Usik in the later rounds"

Dmitriy Kel May 2, 2024, 4:11 a.m.

UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall shared his expectations for the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"I've sparred a lot with Tyson. This guy is a giant and when he starts applying pressure, it takes a lot of power to stop him. It will be very hard for Usik to do that for 12 rounds.

It would be foolish of me to bet against Fury. I'm a big Usik fan, but Tyson is my buddy, so I have to favor him. If Tyson forces Usik to back down - I'd say he wins by knockout in the later rounds. Round 10, 11, 12 - somewhere in that neighborhood," Bloody Elbow quoted Aspinall as saying.
