Frank Warren picks two heavyweights who he believes will beat Oleksandr Usyk

Frank Warren picks two heavyweights who he believes will beat Oleksandr UsykMatchroom

Frank Warren has backed two members of his bulging heavyweight stable to emerge victorious against Oleksandr Usyk.  

The Ukrainian boxer, arguably boxing’s best fighter, was once again victorious against Anthony Joshua last weekend and the immediate focus afterwards switched to an undisputed showdown with Tyson Fury.  

Warren, Fury’s U.K. promoter, is very confident that his man would come out on top if a meeting with Usyk can be secured.  

Being the man also guiding Joe Joyce’s career, the Hall of Fame promoter also believes that the 2016 Olympic silver medallist would be able to grab revenge against the man who defeated him in a 2013 amateur meeting. 

"I was watching it and I felt I liked Usyk. I liked what he did, but I feel a real big heavyweight - I'm talking about a heavyweight who has got good whiskers, who's got good work rate [would beat him],” said Warren when speaking to Sky Sports

"Joe, for example, he's got good work rate, he's got a very good chin. I think he gives him a lot of problems, and I think Tyson gives him huge problems as well. I think they'd be just too big and have too much ammunition for him."
