"Usyk has no one to box with": the Ukrainian has only one fight left with real intrigue, according to the former world champion
Former WBC welterweight champion Viktor Postol (31-5, 12 KOs) believes that after defeating Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and winning the title of absolute champion of the super-heavyweight division, Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) no longer has any competitors of a decent level. According to the Ukrainian boxer, the only intrigue is the rematch with Fury.
Postol is confident that even the former WBC belt holder Deontay Wilder cannot fight Oleksandr.
"There's no one else for Usyk to box with there. Yes, only Wilder remains, but it seems that Sasha will have no problems with him. He should even beat the American earlier. Yes, the only thing that would be interesting to see is a rematch with Fury," Viktor believes.
However, in the second fight, the Gypsy King may be more dangerous for Usyk.
"It seems to me that it will be easier for Fury to box Sasha because he has already fought him, he will definitely review the fight, work on his mistakes, and he will already know how to work against him. So it seems that it will be harder for Oleksandr if there is a rematch," Postol added.
Earlier, in a conversation with OBOZ.UA, the former Ukrainian champion explained how the referee helped Tyson and why it would be easier for him in the second fight.
It is known that Usyk was hospitalized after the fight with Tyson Fury. Promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk told the details of the boxer's jaw injury.
Usyk defeated Fury by a split decision – 115:112, 113:114, 114:113. After the fight, the British fighter called the war in Ukraine one of the reasons for his defeat. Tyson also expressed his desire to visit Ukraine.
It has become known that Usyk will lose the title of absolute world champion by the beginning of summer. This decision angered the British Tony Bellew.
And in England, they started talking about the Gypsy King ending his career after the defeat.
