Tyson Fury has displayed support for Billy Joe Saunders, predicting a massive victory in the upcoming fight against Canelo Alvarez. Both fighters are going against each other for the super-middleweight world title.
Currently, Alvarez is a favorite as he makes a move to retain all of his world titles against Billy Joe Saunders. The upcoming fight will be held in May in Texas at the AT&T Stadium. The Ring has gone as far as to rate Alvarez as the number one pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
Saunders is no slouch himself and boasts of having won all of his 30 bouts to date as a professional. Saunders is also the current title holder of the WBO super-middleweight belt, though he is seen as the underdog when going up against Alvarez.
However, Fury has declared that he is expecting the Englishman to upset the odds. Fury believes that his long-time friend will present a new kind of challenge for Alvarez.
According to Fury, Billy Joe Saunders is 100 per cent mentally in the right place, he knows what he has to do and he will do it, he will rise up and claim greatness.
I was wrote off many times in the past and have always come through, we are cut from the same cloth, same breed of animals, he continued. Canelo has fought them all but never a Fighting Gypsy, we are a different breed of animal to anything he has come across before. Domination with the help of God.
