FIGHT PREDICTION
Tyson Fury has a claim to be among the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time with his supreme boxing technique making him so incredibly difficult to beat. However, as the controversial Englishman ages, there could be a decline in his sheer speed and reflex, as was perhaps shown up by his fairly fortunate victory against Francis Ngannou in October. Usyk has taken on all comers thus far with back-to-back victories against Anthony Joshua being followed up by a win over Daniel Dubois in August. The strong likelihood is this fight goes the distance with the two both difficult to knockout and whilst Fury remain slight favourite, there would be good value in getting against the Brit.
TIP: OLEKSANDR USYK TO WIN
