"With each round": former world champion gave an unequivocal forecast for the Usyk-Fury fight

Former world middleweight champion George Groves expressed confidence that Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) will leave no chance for Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) in a fight for the world title. The 35-year-old Briton noted that the Ukrainian simply drives his opponent around the ring, forcing him to run out of breath.

Groves said this in an interview with the Grosvenor Sport portal, gbnews.com reports. According to the former boxer, Usyk's great advantage will be his excellent footwork. Moreover, the Ukrainian will not just move quickly around the ring, but will increase the pace with each round.

"I think Usyk will win. I know people are jumping on him a little bit because of the Dubois fight, but I think he's very, very good. Usyk will take Fury out of his comfort zone, Fury is a big guy and he's a big weight, and if Usyk makes him work harder than he has in the past, it's going to be a tough night for Tyson. Usyk will gain momentum with each round. I think he's going to win with a lot of confidence," Groves said.

It should be noted that a video of the boxers' meeting was published online, during which Tyson found a strange reason to run into the Ukrainian, and afterwards the Briton and the Ukrainian shook hands. Fury also named one reason why he respects our champion.

In addition, Usyk himself suggested what would happen after the 12th round of the fight. He also told us what he had already defeated his opponent in. At the same time, an unexpected problem arose with the fight itself. At the same time, the boxers' fees became known.

Earlier, former world champion Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) gave his unequivocal forecast for the fight between Alexander and Tyson, and explained why our compatriot will win. In addition, he admitted that he would like Fury to win.

And in Saudi Arabia, a loud statement was made about the confrontation between the Ukrainian and the British on February 17. A month before the fight, Riyadh unveiled a special belt that would be awarded to the winner of the confrontation. Its appearance caused outrage among fans.

In addition, the names of the boxers who are helping Alexander prepare for the fight against Tyson have become known. Before that, we told readers about the connections between the British and Ukraine.

In his turn, Usyk showed a video of his impressive preparation for the fight, which captivated fans. And former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter expressed confidence that the fight between the Ukrainian and the Briton would not take place on February 17.

A scandalous detail of the Usyk-Fury show related to Russia also became known. Promoter Eddie Hearn wished our compatriot defeat and called Tyson a "downed pilot." And bookmakers stopped considering the Briton an obvious favorite.

Boxing debutant Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs) shared his expectations of the grand boxing evening. And Usik's sparring partner told us about what happened in the Ukrainian's camp.
