Legendary American former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson shared his expectations for the upcoming fight for all the belts in this division between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
The Brit and the Ukrainian will cross gloves on May 18 in the main event of a boxing show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"I'm looking forward to this fight. It's going to be an interesting fight. I'm picking Fury because I think he will defeat Usyk. I think he's the best fighter in the world. Great fighters lose, great fighters look bad, but that doesn't stop them from being great.
We shouldn't focus on how Fury looked in the fight against Ngannou, but you have to realize that he's still the champion. Tyson gave Ngannou a chance and it was just a bad night for him. We all have bad nights and listen, it was his bad night," Boxing Scene quoted the American as saying.
