Bermane Stiverne believes Tyson Fury will become undisputed world champion when he faces Oleksandr Usyk next month.
The former WBC ruler, now retired, still follows the division he used to have success in, and he’s given Tyson Fury his backing ahead of one of the biggest fights that can be made.
Fury begins the contest a slight favourite but there are some concerns over how he’ll perform after his last fight against Francis Ngannou.
Fury was dropped before winning a controversial split decision and although he didn't look anywhere near his best, Stiverne still thinks that the current WBC titlist will get the job done.
“I think Tyson Fury had an off night against Francis Ngannou and we will see a different fighter against Oleksandr Usyk, and I think he wins the fight,” said Stiverne when speaking to Betway.
“He is the bigger fighter and is like a middleweight. He is tall, can move and is awkward so I have to go with Tyson Fury to win that fight.”
