Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide on February 17th to determine the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999.
In his last outing Fury put in a subpar performance against boxing debutant Francis Ngannou but was awarded a split-decision victory against the former UFC heavyweight champion.

Speaking to Through The Ropes he said:
“I back the Brit every day of the week and twice on Sundays.”
“Every fighter has a bad day in the office and that might just be that. If his eyes are on the ball for the Usyk fight, I don’t see Usyk getting near him, but if it’s the same Fury that turns up against Ngannou, it won’t end well.”
