Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk plans to attend the fight between Tyson Fury and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, according to an iFL TV clip posted on YouTube on July 13.

Usyk said that he wants Ngannou to win, but does not believe that the UFC fighter will be able to defeat Fury.

"We're going to watch the Fury-Ngannou fight," Usyk stated.

“I think it's easy money for Tyson. Should Fury be stripped of his title? No, let Ngannou beat him. Do I think Ngannou will beat him? No.”
