Paulie Malignaggi has his say about the upcoming Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk fight
The highly anticipated showdown between Oleksandr Usyk, the reigning WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion, and Tyson Fury, the lineal and WBC titleholder, marks the first undisputed heavyweight title fight in over two decades. Paulie Malignaggi, a prominent boxing figure, has not been able to contain his excitement and has boldly predicted the outcome of this historic match. Scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia, pending a formal announcement of the date and venue after Fury's upcoming bout with former MMA champion Francis Ngannou on October 28, this clash is set to captivate the world. The road to undisputed glory appears to be within reach for "The Gypsy King" Tyson Fury if he triumphs in this crossover bout. While opinions on the Fury vs. Ngannou matchup have been mixed, it remains a pivotal stepping stone. Tyson Fury's journey towards undisputed champion status has been marked by his memorable trilogy of battles with Deontay Wilder, resulting in him becoming a two-time champion, with two impressive victories following a contentious draw in their initial encounter in 2019. Paulie Malignaggi, sharing his thoughts on his platform, Paulie TV, initially expressed his admiration for Tyson Fury's enigmatic character, noting how unpredictable and entertaining he is. "Tyson Fury delivers again [by signing this fight]. That's why you gotta love this guy; he's like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gunna get." With the bout now officially confirmed, Malignaggi was straightforward when asked about his prediction. "I think Fury beats him. I think it's 65-35 Fury. I think he's too big." This sentiment is echoed by many within the industry, and despite consensus, it's poised to become one of the most significant fights in recent history. Tyson Fury is set to reap substantial financial rewards, with estimates suggesting he will earn at least $100 million, as stated by his promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank.
