Former absolute world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has named the winner of the upcoming fight between WBA, IBF and WBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk and WBC world champion Tyson Fury. The bout will headline an evening of boxing to be held on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Hey, we should (keep in mind the performance against Ngannou), but you have to understand he’s still champion. I got to go with Fury. I think he’s the best fighter in the world, especially in the heavyweight division. Great fighters lose, great fighters look bad, but that doesn’t stop them from being great fighters.
