Speaking to SecondsOut the heavyweight contender said,
“I still see Usyk giving Tyson the blues. The power is the only thing, he’s going to have to figure out how to gain his respect and win rounds. Usyk is a fleet footed fighter, and he’s going to have to gain some of Tyson’s respect in the earlier rounds.
I see Usyk still giving him fits though. It’s very controversial, but I still think Usyk gives him problems because he has problems with fighters that are our size and use their feet a lot.
But I don’t think they’ll even step in the ring together. Hopefully they do, but I don’t see it happening.”
