Will Fury beat Usyk? It’s up to Chisora ​​- David Haye

Former unified heavyweight champion (up to 90.7 kg), as well as former heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg), Briton David Haye gave
interview for Michelle Jo Phelps.

David commented on the question about the winner of a possible fight for the title of absolute champion between the WBC title holder Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and the unified champion from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). According to Haye, everything will depend on Fury’s third performance against former British challenger Derek Chisora ​​(32-12, 23 KOs), which will take place today.

– Do you know that Oleksandr Usyk will be in the ringside, which I really like?

— Yes, it makes sense. It makes a lot of sense.

“He wants to make sure the fight goes on, according to Alex Krasiuk. He wants to get the winner to agree on television that this fight is next. Who is your favorite to win against Usyk?

– I do not know. It depends on how Tyson Fury handles Derek. If he comes out and bombs Derek… Derek is no small fighter. But in terms of growth, he is shorter than Tyson. If Tyson comes out and gets rid of Derek… It took me five rounds to knock out Derek 10 years ago. He was much fresher then, but now he is smarter. If he can knock out Derek Chisora ​​early on, then he can knock out Usyk early on. If he gets out there and uses his punching power to take Derek down in the cockpit, then he can use that on Usyk as well. Then I believe he can stop Usyk. If he tries to outbox Chisora, then I will say that Usyk will have a good chance in a long-range boxing game. Because that’s what Usyk does best. He leads a boxing game at a long distance. Does he do it the way Tyson Fury does? It needs to be seen. It all depends on how this fight goes (Fury – Chisora ​​3).

“Tyson Fury said he was the one who would win the fight and planned to, quote, slam that ***** (Usyk) if he tries to enter my ring.” What do you think of it?

– I don’t pay much attention to it.

— [смеётся] Do you care about Tyson’s rubbish?

I like it, it’s funny, but I don’t take it seriously. I have heard many things he has said over the years of his career, and so have you. Not much of it happened, but it’s funny. This is a small good conversational opinion.

• What will Fury do immediately after the fight? We all love it sometimes
