TYSON FURY vs Oleksandr Usyk has the capability of being up there as one of the best heavyweight fights of all time, says Dave Allen.
The Brit is hoping to land a unification fight with Usyk, who beat Anthony Joshua for the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles in July.
And should the pair meet at some point in the future, the fight has the capability of being one of the best heavyweight fights in history – up there with Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier.
Usyk’s former sparring partner Dave Allen told talkSPORT: “I believe the only man that is capable of beating Oleksandr Usyk is Tyson Fury.
“And the only man capable of beating Tyson Fury is Oleksandr Usyk.
“So, for me, it’d be the best heavyweight fight probably since Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier.”
The two heavyweight champs had a friendly meet at Vasily Lomachenko’s bout with Richard Commey.
Fury and Usyk shared a high-five before embracing and exchanging a few words.
