Vargas on Why Usyk Will Beat Fury

Former world champion Fernando Vargas has shared why he would bet on the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) in the fight against WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

"I like them both. But our management works with Usyk, and he's also a killer. We have to choose our own, and that's Usyk. Will the cut affect Tyson? He needs to be very careful. Hopefully, the cut heals. We'll see how it goes," Vargas commented.

The fight between Usyk and Fury was originally scheduled for February 17 but was postponed to May 18 due to Fury's cut from sparring.
