BREAKING NEWS: Tyson Fury warned he could get ‘disqualified’ in Oleksandr Usyk fight by……
Former heavyweight boxer Steve Cunningham, once a rival of Tyson Fury, has expressed doubts about Fury’s chances against Oleksandr Usyk in their upcoming match on May 18. Despite Fury’s recent victory over Francis Ngannou, many in the boxing world now see Usyk as the favorite to defeat the ‘Gypsy King.’ Cunningham, who famously dropped Fury during their February 2013 bout, believes Usyk will win by decision or that Fury might even get disqualified due to excessive leaning and holding tactics. Cunningham suggests that Usyk’s team may alert the referee to Fury’s tactics, leading to point deductions for the WBC champion.
Reflecting on Fury’s previous fight against Ngannou, Cunningham opines that Fury didn’t take the MMA fighter seriously, allowing Ngannou to capitalize on his power. Cunningham acknowledges Ngannou’s formidable punching ability but attributes Fury’s struggles in that fight to his lack of preparation and fitness. Despite Fury’s confidence in becoming the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, Cunningham remains skeptical about his chances against Usyk.
