Former champion: “He will give Usyk a tough fight, dangerous for the Ukrainian”

Nelson is sure of Usyk’s victory”, — write: sport.ua

Former world champion and current expert on British television Johnny Nelson believes that Oleksandr Usyk will still beat Moses Itauma, although it will not be easy.

“Itaumi is only 21 years old, he has not yet completed his development. He showed 35% of what is possible in the ring. I think Mozes will give Usyk a tough fight, but Oleksandr is still too smart a boxer.”

“This is a dangerous fight for Usyk, but he is too smart an opponent for all current heavyweights. I would not write off Itauma in this match, but I would bet on Usyk,” said Nelson.

Earlier, the Ukrainian made it clear that he is not interested in a fight with Itauma, and Deontay Wilder will most likely be the next opponent.

The WBC explained why Usyk was given the right to fight with Wilder
