Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk predictions

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk clash for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world in Saudi Arabia tonight and it’s an intriguing contest.

The betting has certainly moved in support of Usyk. The Ukrainian was a 9-4 chance when the market first opened and the 37-year-old is now just 6-5 to walk away with the four heavyweight belts.

It’s no surprise that the former undisputed cruiserweight king has shortened in the betting given the market was up before Fury’s awful performance against Francis Ngannou last time out.

That lacklustre display has to be a major concern, and while it can be argued that Fury may have taken the boxing debutant too lightly, that excuse doesn’t wash.

The Morecambe man’s two victories over Deontay Wilder are held up as the strongest form in the heavyweight division, but Wilder's subsequent pummelling by Joseph Parker in December didn’t do much for that theory.

It’s also worth remembering that Wilder had Fury on the canvas four times in their gruelling trilogy of bouts and those punishing fights could well have left their mark on the 35-year-old.

The Brit isn’t an old fighter in terms of age but Fury hasn’t led a dedicated and disciplined life outside the ring and ballooning in weight, along with spells of inactivity, have been a feature of the Gypsy King’s career.

Of course, Usyk has to give up size and weight to the towering Brit, and it’s unfair to simply dismiss Fury as a big heavyweight, but punch power and physique proved no barrier to the Simferopol fighter when he twice dominated Anthony Joshua.

Usyk’s experience in the heavyweight division is limited to only five fights, but the 37-year-old has twice beaten Joshua, who has to be rated as one of the top three fighters in the division, and the Ukrainian's movement, intelligence and skill are unmatched in the big-hitting ranks.

At 6-5, Usyk looks a bet to become a two-weight undisputed champion by dethroning the Gypsy King in the Kingdom Arena.
