"He will surpass him again": the legendary boxer gave a categorical forecast for the Usyk – Fury rematch
Legendary American boxer Roy Jones Jr. has expressed confidence that Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will not be able to take revenge on Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). The former world champion in four weight categories emphasized that the Briton missed his chance in the first fight, while the Ukrainian gained additional confidence.
Jones, who is a fan of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin and holds a Russian passport, said this in an interview with Betway, according to secondsout.com. According to the American, he sees no chance for Fury in a rematch, despite his undoubtedly high class.

Comparative characteristics of Usyk and Fury.
"I don't think Fury will win. It could happen, but in the first fight, Usyk realized that he could hurt Tyson. Usyk is the favorite in the rematch, and that's the thing: Tyson Fury is a very smart guy and he's really good at adapting, but Usyk, in my humble opinion, will outwork him again. Usyk knows he can land a punch and beat Fury. Of course, he may underestimate Tyson in the rematch. But we all know that Fury has been knocked down seven times," Jones said.
Jones has been granted Russian citizenship.
We would like to remind you that in the first fight, Oleksandr defeated Tyson by split decision 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.
