With Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 almost upon us, a combat sports legend just can’t foresee the Ukrainian getting beat.

Carl Froch predicts Oleksandr Usyk will beat Tyson Fury
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to put it all on the line in a match-up that could potentially end an epic chapter in heavyweight boxing history.
In their first encounter, the legends dazzled, each showing their tremendous fighting skills.
But while ‘The Gypsy King’ had his moments, it was ultimately the Ukrainian who prevailed, rocking his rival, en route to claiming a decision victory.
And Carl Froch is struggling to envisage any other outcome than the two-weight world champion getting his hand raised for a second time.
Massive shout: Boxing legend says why he’d have beaten Oleksandr Usyk
In an interview with IFL TV, he said: “I think it’s going to be close again. I’d love Tyson to be able to pull it off. I think he’s saying and doing all the right things.
“He looks mean. He looks like he means business, and he’s saying he’s going to go in there and get the job done.
“But I just find it impossible to pick against Usyk because Usyk is so good.
“So, I think it’s going to be a great fight. I think Tyson is really going to give it a go. He might pull it off. If he does that, he’ll shock me, because I just can’t see Uysk getting beat.”
