Speaking to ES News, the former trainer of the year, Robert Garcia, wasn’t impressed with ‘The Gypsy King’s’ latest showing and has predicted a rough night against the Ukrainian heavyweight:
“Nah, Tyson Fury shouldn’t be in the Top 10 (pound for pound fighters in the world).”
“He looked like s**t (against Ngannou). I think Usyk’s gunna slap him around. He’s not gunna touch Usyk, I guarantee you.”
