"I can't go against him": Lennox Lewis shares how Usyk differs from Fury

Legendary boxer Lennox Lewis doesn't see a chance for Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) to take revenge in his second fight with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). According to the former absolute world heavyweight champion, the Ukrainian demonstrates the highest class, surpassing other rivals.

Lewis expressed his opinion in an interview with the Droeks on Boxing YouTube channel. The Briton emphasized that it is difficult for him to imagine Usyk's defeat, as he boxed very smartly and used the slightest mistakes of his opponent, which Fury made quite a few in the first fight.

"Well, I cannot go against Usyk. Oleksandr Usyk has proven himself time and time again, and he’s still undefeated. It really comes down to who boxes the best. Who’s smart in the ring. I didn’t think Tyson Fury was smart in the first fight. I think he played around a little bit too much and allowed Oleksandr Usyk to really pile up the points. Oleksandr Usyk is a difficult opponent. He moves all the time, he’s always throwing punches, he’s in great shape. And that’s hard to beat," Lewis said.

In the first fight, Oleksandr defeated Tyson by split decision - 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 - and became the absolute super heavyweight champion.
