Wladimir Klitschko believes Oleksandr Usyk will defeat Tyson Fury in their upcoming heavyweight rematch. Klitschko, a former world champion, predicts a repeat of Fury's 2015 loss to Usyk. He also dismisses the possibility of a fight against Fury himself, stating that Usyk will 'keep me in retirement'.
Wladimir Klitschko is backing Oleksandr Usyk to defeat Tyson Fury when they rematch this Saturday live on Sky Sports Box Office. Boxing legend Klitschko has been linked with an unexpected return to the sport to pursue a world heavyweight title at the record-breaking age of 48. It was Fury who defeated the Ukrainian star in 2015 when he first became a unified heavyweight champion.
'I remember when Oleksandr was winning the Klitschko tournament as a teenager, this amateur tournament he was fighting in was carrying my name and he became a champion. He was actually looking up to me. So now I'm looking up to him. How amazing life is,' Klitschko said. 'We're going to keep our fingers crossed that also this time he's going to show that he's the baddest man on the planet, Oleksandr Usyk.
