Cruiser world champion Lawrence Okolie has had his say on the undisputed fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury is set to face Usyk late next month for his first four-belt heavyweight title.
The negotiations seem to be reaching a dead end, when everyone was surprised, Usyk accepted Fury’s 30% ‘take it or leave it’ offer. Frank Warren, Fury’s UK promoter, announced the bout will definitely take place on April 29 at Wembley.
However, there is no official announcement yet New deadlines set by Ukraine’s teamfans are once again preparing to receive bad news.
If the two enter the ring in London, Okolie will tip his English compatriot to take home all the belts, especially if he’s smart enough to make the ring ‘nice and small’.
“I think Tyson Fury will win by points or stop the fight late just because of physicality, especially if they turn it into a small ring.
In a big lap, I think Usyk will be able to jump and pop his left hand into his body.
A pretty little ring, which Tyson grabbed him, put on him a little, pushed and pulled him around. Just as it will be difficult for Usyk to surpass Tyson’s length. I think Tyson Fury won that fight.”
Fury fans’ main concern is the 6-week timeline until the fight, with many arguing that a short training camp would not be enough to improve the former undisputed cruiser class champion.
