"He looked good, but..." The Chinese giant gave a forecast for the rematch of Usyk and Fury

Chinese super heavyweight Zhang Zhilei (27-2-1, 22 KOs) expressed confidence that Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) will defeat Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) again in the boxers' rematch. According to the 41-year-old athlete, in the first fight on May 18, the Ukrainian found the cranberry to defeat his British rival.

Zhilei said this in an interview with the MMAFightingonSBN YouTube channel, Seconds Out reports. The former interim world champion according to the World Boxing Organization (WBO) noted that Usyk is superior to Fury in skills and technique, which brought the Ukrainian victory in the first fight.

"I always believe in Usyk's boxing skills. I think Tyson Fury also looked good on May 18, but Usyk was better. In December, they fight again – I think it all depends on who has a better training camp. I'm leaning toward Usyk's victory because I think he found the key to beating Tyson Fury in the first fight, and he's going to capitalize on that... The main thing is to make adjustments to your timing and use your brain, not your body," Zhilei said.

Fury and Usyk will rematch on December 21. We already know the fantastic prize money for the second fight. A few weeks ago, our compatriot gave up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt and lost the title of absolute world champion.

Later it became known that the IBF left Usyk no choice. This situation angered the head of the Absolute Fighting Championship (IBF), Dana White.

Oleksandr also announced his radical plan to continue his career after the rematch with Tyson. Usyk named the most difficult moment of the fight with the Briton. Our boxer also spoke frankly about his opponent.
