Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is backing Tyson Fury to overcome Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their highly anticipated fight next year.
The bout, which will take place on February 17, was originally scheduled to take place on December 23 but was postponed following Fury's contentious victory over Francis Ngannou last month. It was announced last Thursday that both undefeated fighters would collide for the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO, WBC titles in Saudi Arabia in the new year.
In the bout with the former UFC heavyweight champion, Fury was expected to breeze past the Cameroonian who was making his professional boxing debut, however it proved slightly more difficult for the Gypsy King.
