Okolie: "You Can't Count Usyk Out"

British cruiserweight (up to 90.7 kg) Lawrence Okolie (19-1, 14 KOs) commented on the upcoming heavyweight undisputed championship fight (over 90.7 kg) between WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

"I think Tyson Fury will win this fight. He's just too big, too experienced in boxing, and he has a great style that allows him to adapt.

Usyk's strengths will be offset. Oleksandr Usyk is very good at getting close, moving, putting on pressure, and throwing punches, whereas Tyson Fury is much bigger. He'll be able to stop that by taking a good step back or forward.

I think the 36-year-old Usyk needs to do a lot to get done what he needs to do. But you can never count him out entirely," Okolie told Betway.

The fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on May 18th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
