Usyk's former coach gave him advice before his fight with Fury

James Ali Bashir, former trainer of Oleksandr Usyk, spoke out about his upcoming fight with Tyson Fury.

"Throughout his preparation, I told him, 'Whoever wins the first four rounds wins.' I expect Alexander to take advantage of his left overhand. Tyson was susceptible to that punch in his fight with Otto Wallin, so I would bet on the left overhand. He should hit Tyson with a jab to the chest and then a left jab afterward. If he can do that, it will slow Tyson down a bit. If Usyk takes the first rounds for himself, I'm sure he'll take the title as well. He's a phenomenal fighter, very trained. And very dedicated to boxing. He has a very, very good chance to win this fight," Ali Bashir was quoted by BoxingScene.
