Jarrell Miller is still backing Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk despite his recent struggle against Francis Ngannou.
The heavyweight pair will finally meet on February 17 as they head to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to determine who is the world’s best heavyweight by crowning an undisputed champion.
Fury heads into the bout on the back of a lacklustre showing against Ngannou when he was dropped in the third round before winning via a narrow split decision verdict.
Miller, who will face Daniel Dubois on December 23, is a keen student of the division he operates, and he still leans towards Fury when making his prediction.
“I think he still beats Usyk, he’s the bigger guy, and he has that mean side in him that I haven’t seen in Usyk yet,” said Miller when speaking to Seconds Out.
“I’m still pulling for Tyson in that fight then hopefully I can knock my boy out.”
