John Fury anticipates a decisive victory for Tyson Fury in the upcoming clash with Oleksandr Usyk, predicting success around the eight-round mark. Set in Saudi Arabia on February 17, this heavyweight bout marks a significant event since Lennox Lewis’s era, capturing global attention.
Tyson, fueled by the need to prove himself after a challenging win against Francis Ngannou in October, faces Usyk, who has twice triumphed over Anthony Joshua. Despite Usyk’s recent successes, John Fury, speaking to GB News via Boxing Free Bets, expresses confidence in his son’s ability to secure victory.
Undisputed heavyweight champion aspirations loom large for Tyson Fury, and John acknowledges the historical significance, citing Lennox Lewis as the last from their country to achieve such a feat. While recognizing the importance of Tyson’s preparation, John dismisses concerns about Usyk posing a threat, citing Tyson’s size, strength, and boxing prowess.
John highlights Tyson’s resilience, having faced more powerful opponents like Ngannou and Deontay Wilder, making him impervious to Usyk’s punching power. If Tyson adheres to the training regimen, as John expects, he envisions the fight as a “one-horse race,” culminating in Tyson stopping Usyk around the eighth round.
Reflecting on the scrutiny following Tyson’s split decision win against Ngannou, questions arose about his training and commitment. With Ngannou transitioning from MMA, the curiosity surrounding Tyson’s preparation for Usyk persists. Although John is in the dark about the specifics, he conveys contentment with Tyson’s training, assuring that nothing untoward has been reported.
As the fight approaches, both fighters stake their unbeaten records, adding intensity to the clash. Having collectively fought 56 times, Tyson’s draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018 remains the only instance where either boxer fell short. With John Fury optimistic and Tyson’s brothers supporting him in the Middle East, the world awaits the outcome of this pivotal encounter.
