Who's the favourite? Evander Holyfield made a prediction for the Fury-Usyk mega fight

Former absolute world champion Evander Holyfield made a prediction for the heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

"Fury has worse speed than Usyk. Oleksandr is able to throw more punches, he will hit a lot. Usik is a tricky guy. Whoever he gets in the ring with - he doesn't plan to back down. The fight always works out in favour of the one who adjusts correctly. That's exactly what Usyk is. That's why I always bet on Oleksandr.

Fury is a big guy, and nobody wants to fight with such a guy. My mum used to say that when you're a small guy, you should always be ready for someone to come at you. Small boxers are more likely to be picked as opponents. They always have to be better than people think they are," Holyfield said for Fight Hub TV.

Saturday, May 18, is scheduled to be the world heavyweight title fight between Fury and Usyk in Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainian and the Briton control all the important heavyweight belts - WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and WBC.

Earlier, Tyson Fury acknowledged having mental health issues.
