Rydell Booker is adamant Oleksandr Usyk defeats Tyson Fury
Former No.1 American heavyweight Rydell Booker is a member of Jake Paul’s coaching team and also used to train Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
Booker, 43 from Michigan, has spoken to Betway, ahead of the huge fight between heavyweight champions Fury and Usyk this weekend, predicting a win for the Ukrainian.
Booker began, “Tyson’s a very good boxer. He is kind of a different freak of nature. Fury may not believe in Usyk that much but Usyk’s IQ level is tremendously good. I would lean towards Usyk. I know he’s the smaller fighter and Tyson Fury’s going to use his weight and reach advantage, but Usyk can step up to another level that people don’t see.
“He can use lateral movement, in and out, make Tyson Fury move his legs more than he wants to. He can use angles, he can use Fury’s size against him and when Fury’s coming to him he can step around him.”
The former WBC Youth champion then provided his prediction, “I know Usyk, and it may be biased, but I think Usyk will beat him. Styles makes fights, Usyk throws a lot of punches in bunches and he showed that he’s got a good strong chin, so it’d be a good fight.”
