Joe Joyce says Oleksandr Usyk might defeat a lot larger WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury along with his superior punch output on February seventeenth of their undisputed championship battle on the Kingdom Enviornment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Joyce feels that Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) will try to preserve IBF, WBA & WBO champion Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) from coming ahead along with his lengthy attain and jab. When Usyk does get shut, Joe expects Fury to lean on him and maul to maintain him from throwing.
The Measurement and Attain Benefit
“I used to be considering Fury is larger; he can lean on him and might make it messy in there and get the knockout that method,” stated Joe Joyce to Battle Hub TV, speaking concerning the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk undisputed championship on February seventeenth.
Fury’s behavior of turning his fights into mauling affairs might betray him in opposition to Usyk as a result of this isn’t the everyday easy-to-grab sort of opponent that he’s been dealing with within the final 5 years.
If Fury is relying on preventing Usyk the best way he did Francis Ngannou, Dereck Chisora, and Dillian Whyte, he may very well be in bother on February seventeenth as a result of he’s dealing with a mover.
“He throws much less punches than Usyk, however he’s bought an extended attain, and has bought a quick jab and stuff. Usyk goes to be closing the gap,” stated Joyce about Fury.
The sluggish jabs that Fury throws gained’t preserve Usyk from getting in punching vary to land. Fury, 35, is way slower than Anthony Joshua, and Usyk was capable of shut the gap repeatedly to land in opposition to the 6’6″ AJ of their two fights.
Usyk’s Relentless Offense
“He’s bought excellent ring IQ and lateral motion and stuff, and he throws quite a lot of punches. So he might outpoint Fury with the variety of punches he throws except he can do one thing to maintain him from coming ahead and make it awkward for him,” Joyce stated.
“Usyk is a really clever fighter as effectively. He’s fast, throws quite a lot of punches and a very good chin as effectively. Fury has bought a very good chin. Yeah, it’s an amazing battle. They’re each on the prime of their recreation. I’m wanting ahead to it. I might say Fury,” stated Joyce, predicting a victory for Fury.
