Froch assessed the fight between Usyk and Fury

Former world middleweight champion Carl Froch has changed his forecast for the February 17 fight between Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). The ex-boxer now considers the Ukrainian champion to be the favorite, noting that he is now psychologically superior to the Gypsy King.

Froch expressed this opinion in an interview with the YouTube channel talkSPORT Boxing. The Briton noted that his compatriot frankly failed in his fight with professional boxing debutant Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs), in which he looked like a veteran on the eve of retirement.

"I'm betting on Usyk only because of where Tyson Fury is psychologically. Hopefully, Tyson Fury can have a good camp and revive some of his former greatness when he fought Deontay Wilder three times. He looked good, he looked different each time than he did with Ngannou. But I don't know what's gone. He's trying his best to lose weight. I don't think he's motivated enough. When he fought Ngannou, he looked confused. Did he grow old overnight?" said Froch.
