The boxing world is currently buzzing with excitement for an upcoming highly anticipated matchup. The fight card features two of the best heavyweight boxers in the world: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. This intriguing matchup has captured significant attention. In light of this, boxing legend Lennox Lewis has shared his insights on the fight.
Lennox Lewis has shared his insights on several intriguing matchups. Recently, he discussed the potential fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Lewis attended the 62nd WBC Annual Convention in Hamburg, and afterward, he spoke to the media about how Fury could defeat Usyk in their upcoming fight.
Their previous encounter where the Ukrainian boxer won by split decision, generated significant attention and achieved impressive viewership numbers. However, this was not a notable fight for Fury, as it marked the first defeat of his professional boxing career. To help the Brit avoid repeating this outcome, Lewis has offered a strategic game plan for the British boxer.
Tyson Fury, he’s got the size, 6’9. He moves well, he needs to get that jab going. I like Tyson wth a little bit more weight… He’s always a great fighter even with weight on. Rough him (Usyk) up a bit, use that big 6’9 body and put on Usyk and make it harder for him.

After their initial encounter, the promoters quickly rebooked the rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. With just a few weeks remaining before the fight, it has attracted significant attention within the boxing community.
In the previous encounter between Fury and Usyk, Lewis leaned a bit toward the British boxer, but this time it’s different. During a recent interview, the iconic boxing legend praised Usyk’s remarkable achievements and impressive track record on the global stage. Acknowledging the Ukrainian boxer’s skill and tenacity, Lewis expressed a slight preference for Usyk in the upcoming bout against Fury.
Well, I cannot go against Usyk. Oleksandr Usyk has proven himself time and time again, and he’s still undefeated. It really comes down to who boxes the best. Who’s smart in the ring. I didn’t think Tyson Fury was smart in the first fight… Oleksandr Usyk is a difficult opponent. He moves all the time, he’s always throwing punches, he’s in great shape. And that’s hard to beat.
