American boxer Evander Holyfield shared his expectations of the upcoming fight for the title of undisputed world champion in heavyweight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which will take place on February 17 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
There are things he doesn’t do well – he doesn’t fight inside real well, nobody comes in quick to hit him with punches. It will show when he fights Usyk. Usyk’s a good fighter but Usyk has got fast hands, he can fight inside, he can fight outside, so you will see a big difference. You’ve got to be a complete fighter to win all the time.

Usyk's last fight was against Daniel Dubois in August of this year. In this confrontation, Oleksandr won by knockout in the ninth round. He has 21 wins (14 by knockout) without a single defeat on his record.
Fury last entered the ring against Francis Ngannou in October this year. This fight lasted the entire distance and ended in favor of Tyson by a split decision of judges. He has 34 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no losses on his record.
