"There's a small chance": Usyk's belt challenger gives a forecast for the Ukrainian's fight

Joyce speaks out about Usyk-Dubois fight

British boxer Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) expressed confidence that his compatriot Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) will not be able to defeat Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). The challenger for the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) championship belt held by the Ukrainian focused on the different levels of his opponents.

Joyce said this in an interview with Boxing Scene. He stressed that Usyk simply outboxes his opponent due to more intensive movement around the ring. He added that, as is often the case in the super-heavyweight division, there is a possibility of a so-called Lucky Punch.

 
 

"I think Usyk will dance around him. Dubois won't be able to hit him, just like he couldn't hit me when we fought. That's why he won't be able to hit Usyk. Dubois hits hard, but you can't hit someone who is constantly moving. Usyk will be dancing around him all over the ring, showering Dubois with punches. There's a small chance that Dubois will hit the Ukrainian hard, but I don't think it will happen," Joyce said.

 

Recall: The World Boxing Association (WBA) obliged Usyk and Dubois to sign a contract for the fight by May 2. If he wins, the Ukrainian can fight Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion in November or December.

The Ukrainian's promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk made an unexpected statement about Fury. Our champion himself said that his fight against the Briton will definitely take place.

 
 

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, the famous Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin made a prediction for the Usyk-Fury fight and named the only reason why he would support the Ukrainian.
