Former coach issues warning
Tyson Fury has received a "tampering" warning from Oleksandr Usyk's former coach, James Ali Bashir, ahead of their heavyweight showdown on February 17. Bashir claimed that Fury's mind games won't work on Usyk and that the Ukrainian fighter is a master of mental warfare.
A mental battle
Bashir emphasized that the upcoming fight between Fury and Usyk is more of a mental battle than a physical one. He stated that Usyk understands the significance of becoming the undisputed champion and has the ability to infiltrate Fury's mind.
Close call expected
Bashir predicted that the fight will be a tough one for both fighters. Despite their recent poor performances, he believes that Usyk has a good chance of edging out Fury in the bout. However, he also acknowledged Fury's boxing skills and agility.
Fight prediction
Bashir expects Fury to apply pressure on Usyk, utilizing his size and boxing abilities. He predicts that Usyk will win on a split decision, while Fury will win on a unanimous decision. Regardless of the outcome, a new undisputed heavyweight champion will be crowned for the first time since 1999.
