Derek Chisora Changes His Prediction for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Having Fought Both Men

Chisora Rowing Back on Previous Claim

Derek Chisora, the former heavyweight boxer, has changed his prediction for the upcoming fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Previously, Chisora had confidently stated that Fury would beat Usyk, but he is now unsure about the outcome of the highly anticipated clash.

Chisora's Experience with Both Fighters

Chisora, who has faced both Fury and Usyk in the ring, has lost three times to Fury and was beaten by Usyk in 2020. His firsthand experience with both fighters gives him unique insight into their skills and abilities.

Uncertainty Surrounding the Fight

In an interview with iFL TV, Chisora expressed uncertainty about the Fury-Usyk fight. He mentioned that the short camp and potential injuries could affect the fighters' performance. He also highlighted Fury's recent unconvincing win over Francis Ngannou, which has raised doubts about his current form.

Chisora's Evaluation of Fury's Recent Performance

Chisora commented on Fury's last fight against Ngannou, stating that it was not a good fight but acknowledging that Fury ultimately won. He believes that the fight may have burst some of Fury's confidence and emphasized the importance of being at one's best in boxing.

High Stakes for Fury and Usyk

The fight between Fury and Usyk is not only for the undisputed heavyweight championship but also comes with a hefty payday. Fury is set to earn £50 million from the fight, and there is a rematch clause in the deal that would see him pocket another £50 million.

Fury and Usyk's Undefeated Records

Both Fury and Usyk boast undefeated professional records. Usyk has won all 21 of his pro fights, while Fury has a record of 34 wins and one draw, which came against Deontay Wilder in 2018.
