"Lost control": Russian boxer humiliates Usyk's victory over Fury
Russian boxer Artur Subkhankulov (6-0, 3 KOs) expressed confidence that Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) underestimated Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) in their first fight on May 18. The representative of the aggressor country noted that he has no doubt that the British heavyweight will win the rematch.
Subkhankulov said this in an interview with allboxing.ru. The welterweight boxer added the absurd idea that Fury controlled the course of the fight against Usyk, but the Ukrainian was allegedly lucky to get to his opponent in the ninth round and shock him.

"In the rematch, Fury should win. It seems to me that in the first fight he frankly underestimated Usyk, that's all. In the first half of the fight, Fury completely controlled the fight, met Usyk with very powerful uppercuts, he shook him up a few times. But Tyson just started to overplay his hand and lost control after he missed an unexpected punch. That's why I would place my bet in favor of Fury," Subhankulov said.
