The former undisputed heavyweight champion broke down the contest.

Lennox Lewis has made his prediction for the undisputed world heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. 

After months of failed attempts to make the contest happen earlier in the year, a deal between the two fighters has finally been signed.

While a date for the fight has not been announced, it's been revealed that Fury and Usyk will go head-to-head in Saudi Arabia, and that was enough to get boxing fans across the world excited about finally seeing the world's two best heavyweights meet in the ring. 

Fury is a favourite to emerge victorious, and Lennox believes the WBC world heavyweight champion has a crucial advantage over his Ukrainian rival which will swing the fight in his favour. 

"Usyk cannot be taken lightly, he’s the undisputed champion at cruiserweight and he hasn’t lost and when he trains for a fight and when he boxes for a fight, there is mental and physical involved so it’s going to be a great fight. He’s not going there to try and lose he’s going there to try and win so whatever he can do to win he will pull out all the stops. I think it’ll be a great fight," Lewis told JOE

"But he’s up against a different man because he’s not up against a 6 foot 7 guy, he’s up against a 6 foot 9 guy that boxes orthodox and southpaw and moves very well around the ring.

"I always says a good big guy always beats a good small guy, so there you have it.”
