“For a moment… I can’t remember the round now… Somewhere in the 5-6 round, I thought that Tyson seized the initiative. Therefore, I think that he needs to be more seriously unboxed.

The Briton has super long arms. And in principle, he feels good. I do not think that Oleksandr will work at close range. Because Tyson has a big weight advantage. And even light blows will be felt. Therefore, most likely, the fight will be at a distance. But due to his long arms, Fury can work well from a distance. And he is quite fast for such a huge boar.

I will give 60/40 in favor of Usyk. I will root for him, that’s why I bet on him. But in general, Fury has a chance. He showed in the first fight that he can. The only question is whether Tyson will be able to spend the entire second fight the way he boxed in the 5-6 rounds of the first fight,” Chukhajian said.

Earlier, Turki Al-Sheikh announced that the rematch between WBC, WBA, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and ex-WBC champion Tyson Fury will take place on December 21, 2024.
