Fury vs Usyk is the biggest heavyweight fight in years

Like many predicting the fight, the UFC superstar is struggling to decide who’ll become the first-ever four-belt heavyweight undisputed champion this weekend.

However, he sees one huge advantage for Fury against Usyk.

“Usyk is a crafty, crafty boxer,” McGregor said when asked for his ‘Ring of Fire’ prediction by the BBC.

“If anyone can do it, maybe Usyk can do it.

“Tyson is also a crafty boxer. Plus, he has the size.

“Tyson is a tough man to beat in the boxing arena.”

At 6ft 9in, Fury is one of the tallest heavyweights in boxing history.

The 35-year-old typically weighs between 260lbs and 270lbs for his fights but has considerably slimmed down since failing to impress against Francis Ngannou last October.

John Fury recently suggested his superstar son will come in a career-low weight for his fight with Usyk, less than the 245.5lbs he weighed against Vinny Maddalone in 2012.

Whatever happens, he’ll still be much bigger than Usyk when they square off.

The 6ft 3in Ukrainian was a cruiserweight before moving up a division and beating Anthony Joshua twice to acquire three of the four major heavyweight titles.

Usyk has never weighed more than 221.5lbs during his boxing career.

McGregor would usually be sitting in the front row for a bout like this, but he’s unlikely to make the trip for Fury vs Usyk.

The former dual-weight UFC champion will have his first fight in almost three years when he takes on Michael Chandler on June 29.

UFC 303 tickets have already made Dana White $20million and broken an eight-year gate record – it is clear fans are excited about MMA’s biggest star’s return.

‘Mystic Mac’ predicts he will enjoy the greatest comeback of all time and has been working hard to make sure his premonition comes true.

McGregor will take a brief break from training to watch Fury fight Usyk before getting back in the gym and continuing preparations for Chandler.
