“There are things he does badly.” Holyfield’s prediction for Usyk-Fury fight
Former absolute world champion in two weight categories Evander Holyfield He evaluated the chances of WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usik (20-0, 13 KOs) in the fight against WBC heavyweight belt holder Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).
“There are things that Fury doesn’t do very well; He doesn’t fight very well at close range, usually no one can get close enough to punch him. That will be seen when he fights Usyk.
Usik is a good fighter, his hands are fast. Usik can fight at close range as well as at long range, so you will see a big difference. To win consistently, you need to be a well-rounded fighter.
Most good referees will let you fight close; You can’t just grab a guy and hold him like Fury did. Its arms are so long that it can hit someone twice before being caught again.
The referee needs to remove the points. The art of fighting is that you have to fight in different positions,” Holyfield said.
The Fury-Usyk fight will take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
