Steve Cunningham, former cruiserweight world champion, gave his prediction for the upcoming fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
"I believe that height could be an advantage for Usyk. In fact, all small and athletic fighters have an advantage. However, the difficulty in fighting such a tall opponent is that you have to do unaccustomed things to get to him. You have to make him attack and catch him between punches. That's how I caught him with a right overhand. Fury is a great fighter, his height is his advantage, as is his intelligence. But in fights against guys my height, he has to grab them and hold them down. I don't think he's going to outbox Usyk. He couldn't do that to me and he had to exhaust me. Fury is special, but he's going to face another special fighter. That being said, I believe Usyk will win," BoxingScene quoted Cunningham as saying.
