The former world champion has picked his favorite for the Usyk-Fury fight

The former world champion in the super middleweight division, Carl Froch, has made a prediction about the unified heavyweight fight between Alexander Usyk and Tyson Fury.

The ex-champion sees the Ukrainian as the favorite, considering he believes Fury is not in the best psychological condition.

“2024’s gonna be a fantastic year. Hopefully with a close humdinger with Tyson Fury and Usyk. I’m picking Usyk for that one, just because of where Tyson Fury is mentally.

Hopefully Tyson Fury can have a good camp and rekindle some of his old greatness in terms of when he fought Deontay Wilder three times. He looked good, he looked different every time. But I don’t know it that’s gone now. He struggles to get the weight off him. He seems under-motivated. When he fought Ngannou he looked confused. Has he got old overnight?

Hopefully he turns up and gets the job done, because I want those titles to return to Britain, but at the minute I think Usyk wins that fight.” said Forch.

The Usyk vs. Fury bout is scheduled for February 17, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

At stake will be the IBF, WBA, WBO, and IBO belts held by the Ukrainian, and the WBC title belonging to the Gypsy King. Earlier, Tyson Fury's father, John, expressed significant concern about his son's preparation for the championship fight.
