Former world heavyweight champion and British boxing legend Frank Bruno talks about the upcoming battle between Tyson Fury and Dillian White this week. Bruno admits that according to Fury's comprehensive strength, he is difficult to defeat.
Fury and White will compete on April 23 (Beijing time) at The Wembley Stadium in London on April 23 (Beijing time), when Fury will defend his WBC heavyweight title. Since Hiring Javan Hill Steward as coach in 2020, Fury has changed his style a lot and become a standard attacking boxer, which is well reflected in the two and three matches with Deonte Wild.
Many people feel that if Fury adopts the same strategy against White, it will be very dangerous, because this style of play is more suitable for White. However, Bruno said in an interview with the Daily Mail that Fury's new style also applies to White.
Bruno said: "Fury has changed a lot recently, he has gone from a technical boxer to a terrible heavy gunner, and it has happened in the last two matches. I know these performances of Fury, his attack strength has increased sharply, and he has completely suppressed his opponent in the confrontation with Wild, and Wilder's weight cannot compete with Fury. Fury gained a lot of weight and gained a greater weight advantage at his level, which he could continue to use, which would certainly be useful, and if The 2.06m Tall Fury applied his weight and offense to White, it would be difficult for White to cope effectively. ”
White, now the owner of the WBC Transition Heavyweight Gold Belt, has been playing mind games since finalizing the battle with Furi, refusing to attend the duo's first press conference and breaking the silence until recently. However, in Bruno's view, none of this will help, because these "little tricks" are not enough to defeat Furi.
Bruno said: "Fury is a very difficult person to beat, you don't know what he's going to do next, he can transform into left-handed or he can go back to orthodox playing, Furi's technique is incredible. ”
In this week's battle with Furi, White is seen as weak by the outside world, and Bruno believes that if White wants to create a miracle, he must bravely fight Furi. Bruno said: "White has to force himself to fight, that's absolute, he has a good front-hand jab, a right-handed heavy punch, and a good left-handed hook, White has to go after Fury, but Fury doesn't make him that tricky." ”
For most boxing fans, it is very much hoped to see Furi and Anthony Joshua compete, but unfortunately Joshua lost to Oreksand Usik last September, lost the golden belt of the boxer, and then needs to fight with Usik twice, whether revenge is unknown, Bruno still hopes to see Furi and Joshua can finally meet, but when it comes to Joshua's defeat to Usik, Bruno feels a little confused and seems not to believe that Joshua will lose the championship title.
Bruno said: "Joshua is a heavyweight boxer, a strong, tall guy, I don't know what happened in the first place, why did he play with Usik like this? Joshua must be clear about his own characteristics, he is a standard heavyweight boxer, a very dangerous fighter. ”
