In the upcoming clash scheduled for next month, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are poised to go head-to-head in a highly anticipated showdown, vying for heavyweight supremacy in what promises to be an epic battle. Both pugilists are poised to stake their claim to the world title, with the victor poised to emerge as the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Renowned boxing legend Roy Jones Jr., himself a former heavyweight titlist, is eagerly awaiting the May 18th encounter and has weighed in with his predictions on how the contest may unfold. Expressing his insights on Talksport, Jones Jr. acknowledged Usyk’s tactical prowess but pointed out a potential shortfall in explosiveness, a quality he deems essential for smaller fighters moving up in weight class.
Jones Jr. emphasized the significance of explosive power in earning respect from larger opponents, highlighting it as a critical factor for Usyk’s chances against the towering Fury. Expressing skepticism over Usyk’s prospects should he fail to harness such explosiveness before the impending showdown, Jones Jr. remains steadfast in his belief that Fury would emerge victorious regardless of prevailing opinions.
