The fight has a lot of anticipation as the winner would be crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion. Both fighters boast impressive resumes. However, this could prove to be their toughest test to date.
Interestingly, Tyson Fury has publicly acknowledged that as well. Fury believes Usyk is the best boxer he has ever faced, and he also knows that defeating him will benefit his career.
Moreover, Tyson Fury thinks a victory will solidify his status as the greatest heavyweight ever. He said:
”I think he’s the best opponent I’ve ever faced because I’ve fought world heavyweight champions before or undefeated people before, I’ve fought Olympic gold medals before, but I’ve never fought a two-weight world champion before. So I think that puts him at the top of it all.”
