Ukrainian middleweight boxer Sergey Derevyanchenko (14-4, 10 KOs) shared his expectations before a potential fight for the absolute heavyweight championship between WBC belt holder Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and WBA, WBO and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KO).
“I think Fury will be the favorite. But as practice shows, Usyk always jumps above his head. It probably motivates him when everyone thinks he can’t do it. And he comes out and proves that it can be.
A lot of things were said when he boxed his previous fights with Joshua. Then many also said that Joshua is big, that he will win. But Usyk came out and showed twice that he is a real champion. I think it will be the same in this fight. Fury Usyk is tough,” Derevyanchenko said.
Note that Usyk twice boxed against Derevyanchenko in amateur boxing in the category up to 75 kg. Both boxers won one fight each.
Earlier, Tyson Fury found an opponent in Australia.
