Chris Arreola weighed in on an undisputed heavyweight world title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Talking to ES . NewsArreola also praised Usyk and cited his remarkable achievements at the amateur level.
However, the former world title challenger admitted that it would be difficult to overtake Fury, believing the Briton’s size and wisdom would prove too much to overtake the Ukrainian.
“It will be a super fun fight.
Can’t teach size. I have to take Fury, just because he’s so big and he’s a cunning fighter. Even though he’s huge, he fights like a middleweight, so I chose Fury.
But you can’t take anything away from Usyk. He’s one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time, he’s had over 300 amateur fights and won gold medals and everything.”
Arreola is not alone in his opinion, many in the sport also believe that the huge difference in size and weight in favor of Fury will be the deciding factor in whether the two elite technicians lock the whistle. or not.
It looks like Usyk will get a chance to prove those suspicions wrong, with negotiations now progressing well between the two teams.
There appears to have been a slight delay in the proceedings as Fury has yet to agree to a settlement with representatives from Saudi Arabia, regarding his personal charge.
However, the promoter Frank Warren confirmed in a recent interview that the match will be “100%” on April 29 and will land at Wembley Stadium if ‘King Gypsy’ cannot reach an agreement in the Middle East.
