Former WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has spoken out about the possibility of a fight with current holder of these belts Oleksandr Usyk.

"I would love to fight Usik, but I don't think he's number one on the fans' wish list. You know, I'll fight anyone, and at the same time the promoters want me to fight certain people. And like I said, the fighters they want me to fight would be from the 5-on-5 card that's on June 1, and then they're considering a fight with Tyson Fury.

I'd like to fight Usik, I'd like to fight Ruiz, but I think the fans want me to face Fury," Boxing Social quoted Josh as saying.

WBA light heavyweight titleholder Hilberto Ramirez said he sees Oleksandr Usyk as the favorite in the fight for the world heavyweight title against Tyson Fury.

"I'm going to pick Usik. I like Usik, I like the way he moves and everything else. I think he can win this fight.

Will Fury's size play a role in this fight? I don't know. But I like Usik's style. Alexander needs to keep moving and getting closer, because Fury is big, tall and works well from distance. I think it's an interesting fight," said Ramirez in an interview with YouTube channel Pro Boxing Fans.

Recall that the fight Usik vs. Fury will take place on May 18 in the capital of Saudi Arabia Riyadh.

Former unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua predicts that his former rival Oleksandr Usyk will take on Tyson Fury in an upcoming fight for all the belts in the division

"I fought Usik, so I can only speak about what I experienced with him. A phenomenal fighter, he does everything perfectly. I will say he's going to do a very good job.

I've never fought Fury, so I can't really talk much about how he'll perform or what it's like to fight him. So I can only talk about what I know. I would say that Alexander will win," - quotes the British talkSPORT.

Recall that Usik and Fury will fight on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

WBC super heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury shared his opinion about WBA, WBO and IBF belt holder Oleksandr Usyk.

The long-awaited bout between the Briton and the Ukrainian will take place on 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"I don't have any animosity towards the fighters I've fought or will fight in the future. Usik seems to be a decent guy. He's a God-fearing man who has young children. What else is there to do? I can envision us having 10 beers each because he seems like that kind of character. We need to spend the Saudi money on something," Yahoo News quoted Fury as saying.

Ukrainian lightweight Denis Berinchyk (18-0, 9 KOs) said at the expense of what WBA, WBO and IBF world champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) will win over WBC belt holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) in the upcoming fight.

"Will win with his humility. He will enter the ring clear and cold-blooded. Like a samurai. He'll do his job. And he probably like a samurai - he has no goal, only a path. And this path he will pass", - said Berinchik.

Recall that the fight Usik - Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. On the same day, but in San Diego, USA, Berinchik will fight for the vacant WBO belt with Mexican Emanuel Navarrete (38-1-1, 31 KOs).
