Next weekend, boxing fans around the world will be eagerly anticipating the highly-anticipated match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia. The two heavyweight champions will go head to head in a bid to become the undisputed champion, a title that hasn't been held since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield 25 years ago.
Usyk, who currently holds the WBO, WBA, and IBF titles, has proven himself to be a formidable opponent after defeating two British heavyweights, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. With an undefeated record and a strong determination to keep it that way, Usyk will undoubtedly put up a tough fight in his 22nd professional bout.
Originally scheduled for February, the fight was delayed due to a nasty cut above Fury's right eye during sparring. This only added to the anticipation and excitement for what promises to be an explosive matchup. Fury, who faced a tough challenge from Francis Ngannou in his previous fight, is looking to make a statement and prove himself against a highly skilled and dangerous opponent.
In a recent interview, Lennox Lewis, a legendary former heavyweight himself, weighed in on the upcoming fight. He believes that Fury has the upper hand and will come out victorious in Riyadh. "You're looking at two very good, very determined fighters. We're going to see on May 18th who is the best in this era," he said.
Lewis also shared his prediction for the fight, stating that the bigger and better fighter will come out on top. While Usyk has impressive skills and movement, Fury's size and agility give him an advantage in the ring. Lewis also noted that Fury has a range of weapons in his arsenal and has shown his skill and talent in his previous fights with Deontay Wilder.
However, Lewis did mention that Fury's previous fight with Ngannou may have been a wake-up call for the Gypsy King. He believes that Fury was not at his best in that fight and made the mistake of not taking his opponent seriously. But with a focused and determined Fury, Lewis is confident that he will come out on top.
In the end, Lewis reminded everyone that boxing is a dangerous sport and should not be taken lightly. But with Fury's skills and determination, he is confident that he will emerge as the undisputed heavyweight champion. The world will be watching next weekend to see who will take the crown in this highly-anticipated matchup.
