Lewis, a Legendary Figure, Predicts Fury's Victory Over Usyk.

Posted 4 months ago

Lennox Lewis, a boxing legend, is predicting that Tyson Fury, whom he describes as the "bigger guy," will become the undisputed world heavyweight champion by defeating Oleksandr Usyk.

Saturday's super-fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will crown the first boxer ever to hold all four major titles.

Lennox Lewis, the division's last undisputed champion nearly 25 years ago, shared his prediction with BBC Sport, favoring Tyson Fury to win on points due to his longer reach and impressive movement.

Lewis expects an intense battle between two skilled fighters hungry for victory.

Lewis, often regarded as Britain's finest heavyweight with victories over boxing icons like Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and Vitali Klitschko, likened the significance of the upcoming fight to the NFL's Super Bowl.

He emphasized, "It's like the last match of the year, and it's the two greatest fighters in the world right now."

Tyson Fury, the Briton in question, holds the WBC belt and boasts an impressive record of 34 wins and one draw.

Despite his narrow points victory over former UFC star Francis Ngannou in October, Lewis isn't overly concerned about Fury's previous performance.
