Mike Tyson is not letting Tyson Fury’s most recent performance affect the way he looks at his upcoming title fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury, WBC heavyweight champion, is scheduled to fight Usyk, who holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles, in an undisputed championship fight on Feb. 17 in Saudi Arabia. It’s easily the biggest and most challenging fight in paper for both fighters’ careers.
Many have begun to question Fury’s chanced given his close fight against a much less experienced Francis Ngannou last month, but Tyson, who helped train Ngannou for Fury, is not letting that questionable performance taint the way he looks at his chances against Usyk.
