Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury for the undisputed title, who wins and why?

Depends on which Fury turns up. If Fury is as fat and slow as he has been the last year, he'll get UD'd by Usyk.

The fury from 2018-2020 would beat Usyk, but now? Not so sure. It depends on whether or not Fury gets his fat as up and begins training IMMEDIATELY, or he drinks pints and pies up until the last 4 weeks before the fight.

My prediction? I'd going for Fury via decision, because I think Usyk is vulnerable sometimes and Fury will do a much better job at hurting Usyk, as well as making it a lot more difficult for Usyk to hit him.

Fury has a far superior Jab to Joshua.

I think a combination of Fury's long reach, jab, better stamina, and being smarter in the ring that Joshua, Fury will get a decision by outworking Usyk and possibly scoring a knockdown.

 

When the chips are down Fury raises his game
I love usyk, he's such a beautiful boxer with high energy and a tricky southpaw, but I just fury will lean all over him and break his body down

Let's also remember Fury is even bigger than Aj with a considerable reach advantage and he can jab beautifully. Tbf Usyk has great movement, but the jab will put him on the backfoot

Fury won't have to worry about power like in the Wilder trilogy and even with Whyte

I just think Fury will show the difference what a real modern heavy can do and will rough him up

I do expect Usyk to be competitive early and be up in the cards, but Fury wears him down and stops him late

 

Fury by stoppage.

He's too big and just too good for Usyk, who lacks the size and power to dent fury.

 

Fury on points.

Nip and tuck fight however the size difference would be too great to overcome despite Usyk's skill. He just comes up short here - no pun intended.

 

Oleksandr Usyk

He's just too big.

 

If Fury can get back into the form he was for Wilder 2, he's got this. If he looks as bad as he did against Whyte, he might well lose.

I can understand if he ultimately doesn't do this. But, for his legacy, it would be great, especially if he won.

 

He looked good against Whyte. Didn't even need to get into 2nd gear. Toyed with him. Could have opened up...but why create opening for a powerhouse like Whyte? Bided his time.

 

Usyk. Fury is the one that is in serious physical decline.

 

Usyk is far too skilled. Only way Fury wins this is by cheating.

 

Usyk has no real path to victory, he gets handled in 8-4/9-3 type decision.

 

Nice to see you on the general forum my friend! I think Uysk vs Fury is a 50/50 fight and that more than any fight I can think of, the referee is going to play a huge role. I think if the ref allows Fury to use his sheer mass to bully Uysk like he did in the 2nd fight with Wilder it will be tough for Uysk to win. On the other hand, I think if Fury tries to box with Uysk he will lose. The pace and energy that Uysk fights is tough in these heavyweights. Just look at the last 36 rounds that Uysk has had. His fight with Chisora and the two fights with Joshua he turned up the pace in all three fights in the latter stages and drowned his opponents.

Pound for pound Uysk is the better fighter but that size advantage is without question a factor.

 

Usyk will be successful in landing more shots, but it'll likely be pitter patter to fury. i'd guess Fury will use his body weight to clinch and lean into Usyk and wear him down like he did to Wilder. Or perhaps, Usyk may be quick enough to avoid clinches unlike Wilder. I would say that either Usyk gets a boring decision win, or perhaps Fury gets a late round KO.
