Oleksandr Krasyuk, promoter of WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), shared his opinion on a possible fight against WBC title holder Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs).

“Fury will try to use his advantage in size, weight and arm length. It's good for a boxer when he uses it in a fight.. Fury will try to find a solution on how to knock out Usyk. Otherwise the fight won't look good for him. If Fury goes all the way, then he will have less chance of winning on points than Usyk.

Hitting is good, but it is very difficult to find a way to hit Usyk because of his footwork, aggression, ability to cut corners. You saw how disappointed Anthony Joshua was after the fight. He was completely upset. Joshua tried to beat Usyk, but Alexander was on the other side. Joshua tried to hit Usyk on one side, and Alexander suddenly found himself on the other. His footwork pays big dividends. You don't see that often, especially in the heavyweight division,"

The winner of the fight between Usyk and Fury will become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The Ukrainian boxer has already held this title in the heavyweight division. At the same time, the parties have not yet signed a contract for the fight, so it has not been officially approved..



Recall that on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury defended his title against Derek Chisora, defeating his opponent ahead of schedule..

Usyk in his last fight defeated Joshua in a rematch by a split decision of the judges and defended his titles. The Ukrainian also won the vacant world champion belt according to The Ring magazine..
