Former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe has told Fury to pull out of his upcoming world title fight against Oleksandr Usyk after being 'knocked down' by Francis Ngannou
Tyson Fury has been advised by boxing legend Riddick Bowe to withdraw from his heavyweight world title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
Bowe expressed his thoughts to Fight Hype, saying: "If I was Tyson I would pull out. I wouldn't fight. Not this early. I would say my hand is hurt. I would postpone or wiggle my way out until I get into better shape then see him down the line. Usyk was present to see Fury's close call with Ngannou, where the Gypsy King won by a single point according to the judges. The world title contest was supposed to happen on December 23 in Saudi Arabia but it's now likely to be at the end of Riyadh season in February.
