The mentor of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury Jamal "Sugar Hill" Stewart shared his expectations for his ward's upcoming fight with WBA, WBO and IBF belt holder Oleksandr Usyk, which will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"Everyone in boxing knows that a good boxer has to have an understanding of the ring. And that's what Tyson has been working on, he has to make Usyk do what he needs to do, catch him, make him make mistakes and then hit him with heavy punches. How will the fight end? I have to set myself up for an early stoppage. I've prepared Tyson for a lot of things and I expect everything from Usyk. And I expect a knockout as well.
Is the jab important for Tyson? Of course. The jab is one of the fundamentals of boxing that people neglect. When they want to shake their opponent, they don't use the jab to help them. They just start throwing left and right hooks," Stewart said on DAZN.
