Shiraz Explains How to Fight Against Usyk

WBC Silver middleweight champion (up to 72.6 kg) Hamzah Shiraz (19-0, 15 KOs) shared his views on the tactics one should use when boxing against super-heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

"Tyson knows how to use his size while remaining athletic. In my opinion, when boxing against someone like Usyk, you need to be able to do what your opponent does but execute it better. You should neutralize such a fighter's mobility.

Fury had to grit his teeth, especially after his last performance. Therefore, now he has to prove even more," Shiraz said.

Usyk and Fury will meet on May 18th in a bout for the undisputed championship.

Shiraz will box in early summer in the 5 vs 5 tournament between promotional companies Matchroom and Queensberry and will be the captain of the second team.
