Oleksandr Usyk
Olympic champion Oleksandr Usik is as successful in the pros as he was in the amateurs. Until 2019, he dominated the flyweight division, then moved to heavyweight, where he also eventually became the absolute champion. He has no defeats in the pros, although on his way (in addition to Fury) met really the most powerful opposition - Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois, Dereck Chisora, Murat Gassiev and others.
Usik is a bright representative of the amateur school, a boxer incredibly technical, agile and intelligent, he always finds the keys even to bigger and harder hitting opponents. There is no need to doubt that the Ukrainian will be ready for the rematch with Tyson again at one hundred percent.
Tyson Fury
He was a good champion, in the sense that he attracted huge crowds of fans with his charisma, fighting style and behavior outside the ring. But from a sporting point of view, there were many controversial moments in his career - at times terrible physical shape, doping scandals and so on.
Nevertheless, Tyson beat both his personal demons and all those who were presented in the ring, and he won confidently and quite reasonably for a long time was number one in all ratings, regardless of weight categories.
We should also note his fight with Francis Ngannou (having returned to his old habits for a while), and won by split decision only because the judges wanted it that way.
Oleksandr Usyk, on the other hand, is a completely different matter, a completely different challenge, spiced with a sense of revenge and a desire to finish his career, remaining in history as a great champion.
Expert Betting Tips
We believe that the first fight taught Tyson Fury a lot, brought him down to earth, and he has reevaluated a lot of things in his preparation and game-plan. A lot, if not everything, is at stake, and motivation will be crucial.
Tyson, having had enough in the last fight, will not be so naive and will pay much more attention to defense, and, what's more, he may even prefer to work second and (which sounds even more unbelievable) stop dropping his hands. The second and third fights with Wilder showed that Fury is particularly zealous about rematches, and so we wouldn't be surprised if this time he defeats or even knocks out the Ukrainian champion.
We don't expect anything fundamentally new from Usyk - it will be the same hard pressing, based on incredible footwork and sense of distance.
