Lennox Lewis, the last undisputed heavyweight world champion since 1999, shared his predictions for the fight between WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).
"Tyson Fury has excellent attributes: he's tall, can box on both feet, fights as a southpaw and an orthodox, and can press forward. In my view, it's hard to beat a bigger fighter, so I always say the bigger guy has the advantage. I think Tyson Fury will win on points, but I don’t count Oleksandr Usyk out," said Lennox.
The bout for the undisputed heavyweight world championship between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
On November 13, 1999, in Las Vegas, USA, Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield by unanimous decision in a rematch and became the undisputed heavyweight champion.
