Famous American boxer Hasim Rahman expressed confidence that Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) will defeat British Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). The former world champion noted that our compatriot has a higher level of skills and an amazing amateur career.

"I always bet on Usyk vs. Fury. I think Tyson pretended to be Usyk in his fights. He had the advantage in movement and punching, and most heavyweights are straightforward, hoping for a knockout. Tyson can use his movement, weight, and athleticism against most. But Usyk has boxing skills, he's already fought future champions. Look at his record. He has a great career. Obviously, he can withstand the blows of big guys. I'm for Usyk in this fight," Rahman said.
