EVANDER HOLYFIELD told Tyson Fury that he should 'duck’ Oleksandr Usyk, after beating Dillian Whyte.
WBC heavyweight champion, the Body Snatcher will be defending his title at Wembley Stadium on 23 April against him.
Evander Holyfield exclusively spoke to Sun Sport
Holyfield, the former world title holder, expects Fury will win this fight.
Although the Brit announced his intention to retire following his battle under the arch fight, many believe that he could still pursue unifying the division against Usyk, who is currently in doubt due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Holyfield believes Fury should not be fighting the smaller Usyk.
Real Deal spoke exclusively to Sun Sport and said: "Well, here's what I know: The majority of little guys are better than the bigger guys. You can move much faster and are very skilled at moving.
"What made me a fighter was that I was smaller than most people, so I hit them very easily and was much faster.
"I can see Usyk causing him problems. It's smart to eliminate the 'I'm larger than him' argument. Everyone knows that small men are more skilled and efficient than large guys.
"Big guys have the power!" They can even hurt you if they catch you! Tyson Fury can hurt him. Tyson Fury may be a decent puncher, but he isn't a great puncher. This means that he won't be as fast as Usyk.
Holyfield said, "The guy who has faster hands will throw more punches." This is a man to avoid by saying "Oh, I'm a larger guy I'm going to fight him."
"You are the largest guy, and you fight a smaller guy who is faster but slower. But most small guys are better fighters than large guys."
Holyfield was unable to predict Fury's match with Whyte when he was asked.
He stated that he thought it should be an entertaining fight. Both want to fight, I believe - Dillian Whyte wants to fight. It's going be a great fight.
"I believe Dillian has the energy to cause him problems, but Tyson Fury is smarter. He's a smart fighter, and I doubt Whyte can defeat him.
"What Whyte has is a similar age to me, so you can't really control your chances of winning.
"Even though Tyson Fury may be a smart boxer who has proven to do the right thing, I learned that anyone willing to fight for anything is likely to win. This would make the fight unique.
"You can't say that Tyson Fury is a better fighter, but when you have a man who is self-sufficient, it's hard to argue with him."
If a person is motivated to take chances, then he or she has just as good chances of winning than someone who believes the guy will just let him win.
