Audley Harrison makes one-sided prediction for potential Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk undisputed fight

All is quiet when it comes to news regarding the potential undisputed heavyweight title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. 

The pair have been locked in negotiations for months with an April 29 date at Wembley Stadium being the likely stage, but a deal is yet to be struck. 

While there maybe no official announcement that the fight will take place, plenty of those within the boxing world are giving their predictions for the fight and the latest to do that is Olympic gold medalist Audley Harrsion. 

Harrison is expecting an interesting contest when it comes to tactics, but believes Fury's size will be the difference if he faces the Ukrainian. 

“Tyson Fury has not put a foot wrong yet, he’s figured out the game, worked out every opponent that he has ever faced," Harrison told Mega Casino. 

“I just think that Fury, with the way that he uses his size now, is going to take something out of Usyk. He’s still light on his feet, unlike Joshua in his fights with Usyk where he started to slow down.

“Tyson can bounce around for 12 rounds, but he can also go forward. Usyk is a nice boxer, clever and tough, but Fury has all the little tricks you need to incorporate into a fight like this.

“He will lean on him, work him on the inside, catch him and there will just be too many tricks that he has."

With both Fury and Usyk known for their footwork inside the ring, there's a strong chance the fight could go the full distance, but Harrison believes Fury has the ability to bring the fight to an early end in the later rounds. 

“I think he will stop him late, he could be the first man to do that to Usyk. He can take any punishment coming back because he doesn't care, but he is also just as quick, so it takes away a key advantage Usyk has had over all of his previous opponents.

“He won’t be able to sneak in and catch him with a quick shot, and that is going to be the key technical advantage in the fight. Once he starts backing up, the fight is over.”
