The new year has just begun but arguably the biggest fight of 2024 is just around the corner.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will meet in Saudi Arabia next month to decide the undisputed world heavyweight champion, and with just weeks to go pundits and fellow boxers are giving their thoughts on the massive bout.

Joe Joyce held the WBO interim heavyweight title until losing it to Zhilei Zhang last year, but the Briton hopes to eventually work his way into contention for one or all of the belts that the winner of Fury vs. Usyk will walk away with.

As an invested on-looker, Joyce has his own thoughts on how the two fighters stack up and what might happen when they finally step into the ring on Feb. 17.

“This is the fight everyone wants to see, and I thought it was going to happen a lot sooner but then the Francis Ngannou [vs. Fury] fight came [in October],” Joyce told Betway.

“Tyson Fury is taller and has a longer range, but Usyk throws more shots, is more skilful in the southpaw stance and it is a 50/50 fight.

“I’m not sure who will win but there will be a rematch.”
