Mike Tyson made a prediction for the Usyk – Fury rematch
Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson believes that the rematch between WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles holder Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will end in defeat for the Ukrainian. According to the legendary American, the Briton underestimated his opponent in the first fight.
"Usyk surprised everyone [in the first fight]. I think Tyson Fury was flirting too much, he needs to take the fight seriously. I hope the result will be different this time," Iron Mike said on the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel.
As OBOZ.UA reported earlier, former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs) expressed confidence that Oleksandr would be stronger than Tyson again. According to the American boxer, our compatriot was deprived of an early victory in the first fight of the rivals.
