Prediction for the fight Alexander Usik – Tyson Fury
Russian coach Vitaly Slanov spoke about the long-awaited fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between the British Tyson Fury and the Ukrainian Alexander Usik.
“If Tyson Fury is fit, he will win on points. They are not knockouts. I don’t expect a knockout. Only Tyson Fury can lose by knockout. If Usyk pushes him with his rhythm. But I don’t think Alexander will take risks,” Slanov said in a conversation with Championship correspondent Sergei Sorokin.
Two-time Olympic champion Alexey Tishchenko also shared his prediction for the fight.
“When they talked about this fight four years ago, I gave preference to Usyk. Now in this situation it seems to me that Fury has a better chance of winning. Although the battle will be very unpredictable and incomprehensible. It is difficult to predict who will win. For some reason it seems to me that Fury will win,” Tishchenko said in a conversation with “Championship” correspondent Alexander Frolov.
