Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk - Major heavyweight contender makes his prediction

Jared Anderson is back in action this weekend when he faces Ryad Merhy as he looks to build momentum towards a world title shot.  

Next month, Anderson’s focus will switch to the undisputed heavyweight fight as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide in Saudi Arabia live on DAZN PPV. 

Anderson is seen as a future ruler of the division by Top Rank, the promotional group guiding his career, and he’ll be a keen spectator when the big fight finally comes around.  

Fury and Usyk both have their backers, but the man from Ohio believes the WBC champion will have enough to get the job done. 

“Size will play a big factor, whether he presses forward or takes his time. Either way, he comes out on top,” said Anderson when speaking to FightHype. 

“Him pressing forward could be the reverse psychology option that he shouldn’t do because I think it’s going to work in Usyk’s plans. 

“I believe if he takes his time and wears down Usyk as he should, I think he’s going to take the fight easy.”
