Enzo Maccarinelli, speaking on talkSPORT, dismissed rumors of Tyson Fury struggling in camp, asserting that the ‘Gypsy King’ is “too good” for Oleksandr Usyk. As Fury prepares for the undisputed heavyweight clash in Saudi Arabia on February 17, speculation regarding his performance in training has surfaced. Despite Fury’s narrow victory over Francis Ngannou, Maccarinelli remains confident in his abilities.
Addressing concerns about Fury’s gym performance, Maccarinelli acknowledged the lackluster showing against Ngannou but believes it served as a wake-up call for the champion. He emphasized Fury’s size and skill, expressing confidence in his ability to overcome Usyk. Maccarinelli dismissed the notion that Fury would take the upcoming challenge lightly, suggesting the Ngannou bout refocused him.

The talkSPORT host, Jim White, raised the question of Fury’s size advantage over Usyk, to which Maccarinelli responded affirmatively, emphasizing Fury’s prowess in the ring. Despite recent criticism, Maccarinelli remains steadfast in his belief that Fury will emerge victorious in the clash for the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles.
The upcoming bout, dubbed the ‘Ring of Fire’ clash, is a historic moment for heavyweight boxing. Either Fury or Usyk will become the first undisputed heavyweight world champion of the four-belt era since Lennox Lewis achieved this status in 1999. With the long-awaited showdown just two weeks away after months of negotiations, fans anticipate witnessing two of heavyweight boxing’s greatest fighters on a memorable night of action.
