We are only a few days from one of the most important heavyweight fights in recent boxing history. On Saturday in Riyadh, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will go toe-to-toe to decide who will be crowned the undisputed king of the division.
The contest is expected to be extremely close. The betting odds have shown that. Fury is currently a very slight favorite and his odds have dropped modestly over the past few weeks.
MIke Tyson thinks Tyson Fury will overpower Usyk
While fans analyze the fight, a boxing legend has come out to give his take on the bout. Mike Tyson is backing Fury to win.
Tyson knows a thing or two about heavyweight fighting, so he might be a bit biased when saying that he thinks Fury is the best boxer in the world. Tyson also said that Fury just had a “bad night at the office” when he got knocked down by Francis Ngannou, but he doesn’t think that will affect him against Usyk.
The 57-year-old is preparing for his own fight in the meantime. He’s set to square off against Jake Paul in July, three and a half years after his last exhibition bout.
