With only weeks remaining until Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk square off to determine the undisputed world heavyweight champion, fans and pundits alike are having their say on the massive fight.
Both men are undefeated and bring with them a vastly different skillset that could create one of the most memorable fights in recent memory, and with so much at stake seemingly everyone in the boxing world has an opinion on what will happen on Feb. 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Former WBA (Super) super-middleweight champion George Groves is among those looking forward to the bout, and he has chosen a winner. Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, the Briton laid out his reasons for backing Usyk against the bigger Fury, noting the Ukrainian's speed and intensity as factors that could decide the outcome.
"I think Usyk wins, I think he's in better form," Groves said. "I know people are attacking him a bit for the [Daniel] Dubois performance but I thought he was very, very good.
"Usyk was in full control and stopped him. Usyk will take Fury out of his comfort zone, Fury's a big unit and he carries a lot of weight and if Usyk makes him work harder than he used to then it's going to be a tough night for him.
"Usyk builds into a fight and each round he cranks it up. I think he's in better form, I'm going against the natural size of Fury, and I'm picking Usyk. I think he wins quite comfortably."
Groves has made no secret about favouring Usyk for the upcoming fight, so much so that he said Fury even personally questioned him at a recent event.
"Fury pulled me backstage once and he said 'hey, why are you picking Usyk to win' and I said 'Tyson, someone's got to pick him,'" Groves said.
