Excitement amongst boxing fans as hit an all-time high following the announcement that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to meet for the undisputed heavyweight title.
The news was made public on Friday with the fight set to take place in Saudi Arabia, but a date and finer details are yet to be revealed.
As expected, fans and experts within the sport are already making predictions, and now boxing legend Mike Tyson has had his say.
"Tyson Fury [will win]. He’ll over power him," Tyson told iFL TV.
"He [Usyk] can’t run that long with him, Tyson’s going to wear him down. He’ll get on him and wear on him and then he’s going to pound on him.
"He [Usyk] is not going to win the titles running. I’m a great fan of Uysk’s but he’s not going to beat Tyson moving and running, he’s going to have to eventually fight.”
But before Fury steps into the ring with Usyk, he will face former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover fight on October 28.
