Roy Jones Jr has been looking ahead to the upcoming undisputed fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury-Usyk is one of the best fights in the sport and is set to play out in February 17 in Saudi Arabia for all four major world heavyweight titles. The winner will become the division’s first sole champion since Lennox Lewis.
Speaking to ProBox TV, Jones Jr was asked who he fancied in the fight and explained how Usyk, whilst smaller, is very much in the fight.
He then assessed the apparent lack of power in Usyk’s punches.
Despite the fact Fury has been down, Jones countered that he has always got back up.
Whether Usyk – currently going through an intense sparring regime – can indeed put Fury down or is instead able to put on a boxing masterclass and win on points, fans shall soon find out. Fury is ever confident, previously saying he would stop the Ukrainian inside six rounds.
