Tyson Fury will easily defeat Oleksandr Usyk if their fight goes ahead. This opinion was expressed in an interview with NEWS.ru by American boxer Kevin Johnson. He is ready to put money on the Briton.

Who will win? Fury, easy! This is a very easy fight for Fury. Elementary how to open and close the box. Can Usyk win on points? This is impossible. Unreal. I'll bet $1,000 on Fury and bet anyone for money. Fury will win easily, trust me ,” Johnson said.

He added that this fight will take place if the promoters can organize a prize fund of 100 million dollars.

Fury is the champion, Usyk is the champion, they should both be paid very well. There was talk about a budget of $ 80 million, Usyk wanted to divide - 40 by 40, and Fury said: I take 60, and you 20. But Usyk did not agree to this, I can understand him, he is a world champion and also knows his own worth. This fight is possible even tomorrow, but boxers do not arrange fights, promoters arrange them, and they must offer conditions that will suit both athletes , Johnson said.

36-year-old Usyk is the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion, 35-year-old Fury is the owner of the WBC championship belt. The Ukrainian won 21 fights out of 21 in his career (13 by knockout). Fury has one draw with 33 wins, 24 by knockout.

Earlier it was reported that Johnson decided to get a Russian passport and took a new name in honor of the Russian president. Now the American's name is Kevin Vladimirovich. According to him, after this step, he feels completely Russian.

Reporters are confused. Sometimes they report Usyk’s age as 26 and other times 36. I didn’t know he was so old.
