Lennox Lewis Confidently Picks Favorite for Usyk–Fury 2

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has shared his thoughts on who he considers the favorite in the rematch between WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former world champion Tyson Fury.

“You know, I can’t bet against Usyk. Oleksandr has proven his skills every time and remains undefeated. It all comes down to who boxes better, who is smarter in the ring.

I don’t think Fury was smart in the first fight. He got a bit too playful and allowed Oleksandr to rack up points.

Usyk is a tough opponent—he moves well, always throws a lot of punches, stays in great shape, and is hard to beat. Fury needs to get it right in this fight. If he doesn’t make any adjustments, he’ll lose again,” Lewis said.

The highly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury is set for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
