Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide this month.
We are fast approaching the eagerly anticipated undisputed showdown between the two heavyweight titlists.
Fury puts his WBC heavyweight crown on the line, while the Ukrainian brings his IBF, WBA, and WBO straps to the table.
The winner will be crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 and the first in the four belt era.
Looking ahead to the clash former world champion, George Groves has given his assessment on the clash and believes Usyk will get the job done.
Speaking to talkSport Boxing, he said, “Yeah, I picked Usyk to beat Fury. I remember when Usyk first moved up to heavyweight, I said, ‘He’s a dark horse. Don’t write this guy off. We’ve seen cruiserweight move up to heavyweight and dominate in previous years. It did seem a bit unfathomable for a lot of people that he’s never going to compete with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. I still think Usyk beats him.”
He continued: The argument says, ‘A good big un beats a good little un, but I think Usyk is an exceptional fighter. In terms of their boxing ability, like, Usyk is a lot better.”
Do you agree with Groves? Let us know in the comments.
