Mike Tyson, Conor McGregor, Deontay Wilder & More Pick Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Winner
In an interview with TNT Sports, George Groves expressed his support for Usyk: “I think Usyk is far too smart to fall into that trap of having the bigger guy lay on him and use his size against him. He cuts out at amazing angles. He can himself into angles where he can touch you three, four, five times before he gets that power shot in.”
In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Mike Tyson Said: “Hey, we should [not focus on what Fury did against Ngannou], but you have to understand that he is still the champion. He made that night a great night.” He added, “I’m going towards Tyson Fury because I think he’s just going to overpower him. He’s going to catch up with him and overpower him.”
Joshua stated, “I have never fought Tyson Fury so I can’t really speak on how he will perform or what it is like to face him so only speaking on what I know I would have to say Oleksandr Usyk will be victorious.”
Former UFC champion Conor McGregor declined to choose a winner when questioned by the BBC: “Usyk is a crafty, crafty boxer. If anyone can do it, maybe Usyk can. [But] Tyson is also a crafty boxer,” McGregor said. Plus, he has the size. Tyson is a tough man to beat in the boxing arena.”
