Ahead of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury and Deontay WIlder have both delivered their verdicts on who they believe will win the fight. Both the WBC champion Fury and its former incumbent Wilder seem to believe that Usyk will beat Joshua following the Ukrainian's win last autumn.
Fury and Wilder played out a thrilling trilogy between 2018 and 202 1, with a draw followed by two wins for Fury which re-established the Gypsy King as world heavyweight champion. Despite their differences as boxers, both appear to be backing Usyk in the rematch, with the Ukrainian also odds-on favourite with the bookies.
Wilder is yet to announce his next fight but is still active and said in a video call with Elie Seckbach alongside trainer Malik Scott why he is backing Usyk. “I’m going with Usyk here, man,” He added. "I’m going with Usyk, and I think many people are [due to the first fight]. You know, it’s boxing at the end of the day, so you know – we’ll see. But I think it’s Usyk.”
