Hvozdyk spoke about the rematch between Usyk and Fury

Former light heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Hvozdyk (20-2, 16 KOs) expressed confidence that Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) will defeat Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) in a rematch. According to the 37-year-old native of Kharkiv, the fight between the two representatives of the royal division will not go the full distance of 12 rounds.

Hvozdyk said this in an interview with Ukrsport.pro. Interestingly, the Ukrainian, who mostly lives in the United States, also admitted that he doesn't really follow the fights of other boxers, including those in his weight class, and watches only the top fights.

"I watch a little bit, there are such top fights when Oleksandr Usyk is boxing or some stars like Canelo. I can watch these fights, but I don't follow boxing, even in my weight class. I know what's going on there, but not so much in the others. What is your prediction for the Usyk – Fury rematch? I think Sasha will beat him early this time. Probably somewhere in the end, after the 8th round," Hvozdyk said.

On October 23, Usyk and Fury had their first duel of looks before the second fight. The Ukrainian appeared unusually, changing his image. In addition, he forced his opponent to take an unusual step to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Earlier it became known that Tyson wanted to organize a trilogy with Oleksandr to go down in boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.

In the first fight, Oleksandr defeated Tyson by split decision 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.

Our compatriot also shared his expectations for the second fight with Fury and responded to accusations of cheating during the May 18 fight. In addition, the Ukrainian told what he learned from the fight.

The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations for the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the fighters' repeat.

In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr. And the Ukrainian himself named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.

In addition, Anthony Joshua answered the question of who he would like to see win the rematch between Usyk and Fury. After that, he named the winner of the rematch. Tyson himself voiced his motivation for the second fight against our compatriot.

Fury also responded to Usyk's team's comparison with dictator Vladimir Putin.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, the former coach of the Ukrainian boxing team Mykhailo Zavialov said that Tyson Fury will put his career on the line in a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. The Briton himself noted that he did not believe in his victory on points in the second fight with the Ukrainian. In turn, Usyk revealed the details of his preparation for the fight.

In addition, it became known who Oleksandr planned to fight after the fight with Tyson. The legendary Mike Tyson gave his prediction for the fight.
