Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk - Heavyweight contender struggles to pick favourite

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk - Heavyweight contender struggles to pick favouriteTop Rank
He thinks both men have a chance.

Heavyweight fighter Joe Joyce is finding it tough to pick a favourite for the upcoming clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

The two champions put all the belts on the line on DAZN PPV on Saturday, May 18, and both fighters have their respective talents.

Fury has the power and intelligence, while Usyk wants for neither IQ nor technique, making it a potentially fascinating encounter ahead of us in Saudi Arabia.

Speaking to Ash Rose via Freebets, Joyce saw the merits in both men’s approach.

He said: “Well, I've gone back and forth because I'm aware that Usyk throws a lot more punches than Fury and he's got a very good boxing brain and he's obviously watched Fury and would really have studied him to see what he can do. 

“Fury's obviously very experienced as well and can switch. He's got the height and reach and weight advantage , so I don't know. He says he's just going to slap him about so let's see, let's see if that happens. 

“I'm really excited to see it and see what the outcome is, and where everything goes after that, after the fight. After the Undisputed, what happens after that, the belts and where I fit in.”
