Legendary American former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield has analyzed the upcoming fight between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and British Tyson Fury.
Their clash, which will determine the first absolute heavyweight champion since 1999, will take place on May 18 in the main event of Boxing Night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"Fury doesn't have Usyk's speed. Usyk throws punches skillfully and hits accurately. He is a strategist who doesn't give up in a fight, regardless of his opponent.
No one tends to fight Fury as he is physically powerful. Smaller fighters are often targets because of their size. They always have to prove their strength. Usyk doesn't have to act aggressive in the ring. He has the technique and understands his characteristics. Although his arms are not the longest, but he knows how to adapt. The fight is always won by the one who adapts. That's exactly what Usyk is. I always bet on Alexander," said Holyfield in an interview with Fight Hub TV.
