«Victory by points» : boxing legend makes a prediction for Usyk – Fury fight.

Legendary British boxer Lennox Lewis has named his compatriot Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) the winner of the fight with Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs). The former absolute world heavyweight champion urged not to discount the Ukrainian.

Lewis said this in an interview with talkSport. According to the winner, Vitali Klitschko, a huge difficulty for Usyk is that Fury is approaching the May 18 fight in perhaps the best shape of his career. In addition, Lennox repeated the traditional narrative about Tyson's superiority in physical data.

"The fight with Tyson Fury will not be easy for anyone. He moves well, and you also have to take into account the difference in height. A few weeks before the fight, he's in great shape. This tells me that he is serious about the fight and we will have a great fight. Usyk will not be facing a fat Tyson Fury, but a focused guy. I always say that a big heavyweight will beat a small heavyweight. I'm betting on Tyson to win on points, but don't count Usyk out," Lewis said.

The day before, a video appeared online that revealed Usyk's true attitude toward Russia. And the Russian national team was critical of the Ukrainian's chances in the fight against Fury.

The week before last, the broadcaster of the Usyk – Fury fight in Ukraine became known and the cost of the show was determined. Former world champion Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) made his prediction for the fight. Jordan Thompson (15-1, 12 KOs), the sparring partner of the two rivals, also shared his expectations for the duel.

Before that, Fury spoke frankly about Usyk, calling him a terrible person. The British boxer also spoke about being bullied in his younger years, when he was offered to quit the sport. In addition, the fantastic fees of the opponents for the May 18 fight were announced.

It became known that the second rematch of the boxers is scheduled for mid-October. Tyson himself has already confirmed that he does not intend to give up fight #2 against the Ukrainian.

Former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) has again given a prediction for the Usyk – Fury fight. In addition, the fight was evaluated by the former rival of the Ukrainian Tony Bellew.
