Famous Italian super heavyweight made an unexpected prediction for the rematch between Usyk and Fury
Top Italian heavyweight Guido Vianello (12-2-1, 10 KO) shared his expectations for the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs).
"I like Fury, I'm rooting for Tyson. Listen, I'll say that Usyk really surprised me in the first fight. But I think Fury will come back stronger than he was in the first bout. So, it's going to be a very tough fight for Oleksandr. I hope Tyson wins the second fight," Vianello told the Seconds Out YouTube channel.
Previously, former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua also made his prediction for the Usyk-Fury rematch.
As a reminder, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision in May, sending the "Gypsy King" to the canvas in the ninth round. The Ukrainian took the WBC heavyweight title from the Briton.
The rematch between the Ukrainian and the "Gypsy King" is set to take place in Riyadh, scheduled for December 21.
