Boxing's P4P Debate Heats Up: Garcia Sides with Usyk!

Anthony Joshua's ring strategist, the American coach Robert Garcia, is throwing some verbal jabs over Tyson Fury's standing among boxing's elite. He's convinced the WBC heavyweight champ (34-0-1, 24 KOs) shouldn't be flexing in the P4P top ten. And when it comes to the looming clash with Oleksandr Usyk:

"Fury's spot in the top ten? That's a miss. His tango with Ngannou was a no-show, a real snoozer. Usyk's set to school him – trust me on that. Fury won't lay a glove on Usyk. It's a lock," Garcia pulls no punches in his forecast.

It's likely Garcia's taking a jab at the ESPN rankings we flagged earlier, where Fury's spot slipped from a lofty sixth to the edge of the top ten.
