Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Lawrence Okolie makes his prediction for undisputed fightTop Rank
The undisputed heavyweight title fight is almost here.

Excitement is building across the boxing world as the undisputed heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which will be live on DAZN PPV, edges ever closer. 

When Fury and Usyk meet in Riyadh on May 18, the question will finally be answered when it comes to who is the number one fighter in the heavyweight division. 

As expected, a number of fighters are making their predictions for the contest and former cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie is the latest to give his verdict ahead of the historic clash. 

"I think Tyson Fury will win that fight. He’s a bit too big, too experienced with boxers and he’s got a great style that can adapt," Okolie told Betway

"The things that Oleksandr Usyk is good at are going to get nullified. Oleksandr Usyk is really good at getting in and out, causing pressure and throwing shots whereas Tyson Fury is so much bigger, he’ll be able to shut it down by giving it a good step back or a step forward.

"I think it is going to take a lot of work for a 36-year-old Usyk to do what needs to be done but you can never completely write him off."

There is plenty at stake when Fury and Usyk meet, not only will the winner be declared the heavyweight division's number one fighter, but the victor will also become the first heavyweight boxer to be an undisputed champion in the four belt era.
