The WBC International middleweight champion Fedor Cherkashin made a prediction for the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, which will take place on December 21, especially for NV.
Before the Usyk-Fury rematch, the judge was unexpectedly replaced – the reason is known
Before the match, a verbal altercation broke out between the boxers. The Ukrainian is aiming to give the Briton the second failure in his career, and the Gypsy King wants to take revenge on Usyk for the defeat in the first meeting.
In a conversation with NV journalist Andrii Pavlechka, Cherkashin said that Fury has a chance to knock out Usyk, but he believes in the victory of the Ukrainian champion by the judges’ decision.
“The chances of a knockout are there, but they are not very big. Usyk usually wins fights on stamina and points, but Tyson has a real chance to get an early victory if he can catch Alexander on a mistake. At the same time, Usyk can also surprise if he wears down Fury and lands a series of accurate shots in the late rounds.
Usyk’s strategy is likely to be based on movement, quick counter-attacks and distance work. He will try to avoid hard clinches and constantly make Fury move, wearing him down. It is also possible that he will start attacking the opponent’s body more actively, which he did less before. In general, I do not expect serious changes, but we will definitely see some tactical innovations from his team.
It is very difficult to predict the result, but most likely the fight will last the whole distance. If Usyk can avoid clinches and work the distance, he has a chance to win on points. If Fury imposes power boxing and exhausts Usyk, his chances of an early victory will increase significantly. Personally, I believe in the victory of Usyk by the decision of the judges after a tense fight,” Cherkashin said.
