Foreman Picks Favorite for Usyk-Fury Fight

Legendary former heavyweight champion George Foreman has chosen his favorite for the fight between WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

«Usyk isn't concerned with anything except winning on points. He's a tough fighter and can take a punch. Fury is in a tough spot. And if there are no bribed judges, Usyk should win.

It's great that Fury has a size advantage. He has everything to do it. But not with this guy. Usyk has already fought big guys, and he's not afraid. He was born mentally strong. Oleksandr has this ability – it’s his main asset.

He doesn’t have anything extraordinary to beat Fury, except for that mentality,» said Foreman.

Usyk and Fury will meet on May 18. Earlier, we shared where to watch the fight.
