Chisora's ex-trainer believes that Usyk is the only one capable of defeating Fury

Derek Chisora's (33-13, 23 KO) former trainer Dave Caldwell believes WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk is the only one capable of outboxing WBC champion Tyson Fury. At the same time, the specialist considers the Briton to be the favorite in the confrontation.

"Usyk is an incredible talent. I think he's a brilliant fighter. But it has to be said that Tyson's size, plus the fact that he's also great at what he does - skilled, ballsy, tough - you could say he has the edge. But if anyone can level it and outbox Fury, it's Usyk."

"This is a great match. This is the fight we want to see. But also Joe Joyce vs. Fury is a great fight,” Caldwell said.

In early December, Fury defeated Derek Chisora early to retain the WBC heavyweight title. After the fight, Fury called Usyk to the ring, where the boxers had a duel of glances.

Usyk's manager Egis Klimas said that the negotiations for the fight for the title of absolute world champion in super heavyweight are nearing completion. The parties started discussions even before Fury's fight with Chisora and agreed on all the key points.

The match between Usyk and Fury may take place in February or early March next year. The fight may be affected by the British injury. It is expected that Tyson will need 6-8 weeks to recover.
