The best against the best. Former world champion made predictions for the Usyk-Fury fight
Former IBF heavyweight champion Kell Brook (40-3, 28 KOs) spoke about the upcoming fight between WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF champion Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs). .
“This is the biggest fight, the best fighting the best and that’s what we want. “I chose Fury and we want the ‘Gypsy King’ to emerge victorious from this fight,” Brook said.
While both Fury and Usyk remain champions, some fans believe they did not get the best of wins in their last fights, leaving both fighters wondering if their best days are behind them.
Fury squared off against Cameroonian debutant and former UFC superstar Francis Ngannou, knocking him out in the third round and winning via split decision.
Usyk, meanwhile, knocked out Daniel Dubois in the ninth round of their fight in August, but not before hitting the canvas after landing an illegal strike.
The Fury-Usyk fight will take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
