Frank Warren believes Tyson Fury will achieve an easy victory against Usyk

Frank Warren’s confidence in Tyson Fury’s ability to handle Oleksandr Usyk in their title unification fight is unwavering. Ahead of Fury’s bout against Francis Ngannou, Boxing News Plus shared a video of him discussing the Usyk fight. In the video, Warren predicted the fight’s conclusion. He stated that the British boxer would stop the Ukrainian boxer. Moreover, he pointed out the controversial moment during the fight between Daniel Dubois and Usyk and claimed that Fury could use Usyk’s weakness to win. He stated, “He will stop Oleksandr Usyk same as my man [Daniel Dubois] got cheated out of it. He stopped him, he can’t take a shot to the body I’ve always said that.”

 

In another recent interview, he had made a similar claim, as he called Fury “the better fighter”. Moreover, he added, “He’s [Usyk] very vulnerable to the body. And, you know, I don’t wanna go over all the stuff again with Daniel, but he showed that weakness.” He pointed out that the WBC champion will also be aware of this weakness and would definitely capitalize on it during their fight. Though he did compliment Usyk and called him “brave” and “strong”, however, he called Fury “the best heavyweight of his generation.”
