Famed mixed martial arts veteran Alistair Overeem made a prediction for the upcoming heavyweight boxing world title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

The fight of the Ukrainian and the British will take place, today, May 18, in Riyadh.

"Fury needed to reduce the weight, as Usyk will move at a high pace. Therefore, he will not be allowed to concede to Alexander and also build up his speed. My rational side predicts a Tyson Fury win given his weight, bulk, height, arm span. But it all depends on whether he can utilize his size.

My rational side leans more towards Tyson, but my emotional side leans more towards Usyk. Maybe because he's smaller in weight and I've seen a lot of interesting moves and techniques from Alexander," Bloody Elbow quoted Overeem as saying.
