"I want Usyk to lose": former world champion speaks about the Ukrainian's rematch with Fury

Froch speaks about the rematch between Usyk and Fury

Former world middleweight champion Carl Froch wished defeat to Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) in his rematch with Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). At the same time, the Briton added that he categorically does not believe in the triumph of his compatriot, as the Ukrainian has fantastic skills.

He expressed this opinion in an interview with Telegraph Sport. According to the former boxer, Fury's victory is a desirable outcome for many, but Usyk is deservedly considered the clear favorite for the December 21 fight in Riyadh.

"It's very, very difficult for me to choose an outcome against Usyk. I would like Tyson Fury to win. But I have a favorite. I don't want Usyk to win. I want him to lose. I just think it's hard to bet against Usyk. I think he's incredibly talented. Will he go out and lose to Tyson Fury in a rematch? I don't think so. But anything can happen in heavyweight boxing," Froch said.

It should be noted that analysts agree with the statements that the Ukrainian champion has a better chance of success. Thus, GGBET experts offer to bet on the rematch between Usyk and Fury in favor of our compatriot's victory with odds of 1.68. The British triumph is estimated at 2.62. And the odds for a draw reach 18.00.

Last week, the boxers completed preparations for their second fight. Oleksandr arrived in Riyadh where he was met by his compatriots. In his turn, Tyson told how he was going to beat our boxer and close the defeat in May.

On December 1, an epic promo for the rematch between Usyk and Fury was released. It has already been called a disgrace to American boxing companies.

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.

Before that, it became known that Tyson wanted to arrange a trilogy with Oleksandr to make boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.
