It's been a long time coming, but Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will finally meet in the ring with the winner being declared the undisputed heavyweight champion. Our boxing expert believes this fight will end in a knockout, but who will be the one celebrating at the end?Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk is our premier boxing betting attraction, and the undisputed heavyweight champion will be crowned in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
There is no way Fury comes in anything less than 100% prepared for this fight, and he'll be coming in with an added chip on his shoulder in an attempt to erase the Ngannou disaster. It wouldn't surprise me if Fury comes out looking as sharp and trim as he did ahead of his second fight with Deontay Wilder, aggressively pursuing a smaller fighter who does not possess the same kind of power to keep him honest.
Usyk has struggled against fighters who can give him pause, as evident in his sophomore heavyweight fight versus Derek Chisora. He is technically sound but hittable, and his chin has been able to withstand big shots from heavy-handed fighters at cruiserweight and heavyweight. The key to Usyk's success, and Fury's main target, will be utilizing his movement and staying fresh enough to land meaningful blows for the whole 12 rounds.
The lack of one-shot power and the reliance on a skill-based strategy invites Fury to take more chances and use every bit of that long reach and height to walk Usyk down. Usyk tends to be vulnerable to the body, and if Fury opts to sit back and see if Usyk can chase him down, he’ll potentially wear down under Fury’s long shots and clinches.
