Yahoo Sports MMA contributor Ben Fowlkes previews the Heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Video Transcript

Ben folks here for Yahoo Sports, we have ourselves a huge title fight in the world of boxing on Saturday.

Tyson Fury versus Alexander Usi.

Basically every version of the heavyweight title going up for grabs here between two undefeated fighters.

And this is a fight we've been waiting for, for a long time and a very interesting one, especially right now because USI is gonna come in here and he's gonna give up a lot of size to Tyson Fury as many people do.

That's not so new for us.

He's used to being the smaller man in some of these fights and he is so quick and so agile for a heavyweight, he can deal with it very well.

The question for Fury is, which version of him are we gonna see?

Because the last time we saw him in a boxing ring, Francis Ngannou was giving him all he could handle.

And that was Nan's first professional boxing match after being a UFC heavyweight champion.

Now you could say maybe Fury just took him extremely lightly thinking this guy doesn't know how to box and it'll be an easy night of work or maybe Tyson Fury is just firmly on the down slope of a career at this point well past his prime.

If that's the case usi is gonna give you a tough night.

If it's not, Tyson Fury could go in there and show us that he legitimately is one of the all time greats.

That's what makes this one really interesting.

I can't wait to see it.
