It would be an upset because Usyk is tipped, by most, to go on and give, at the very least, a very good account of himself against anybody that holds the titles.
I’m British so I hope Chisora wins, but I don’t see it happening. People talk about Usyk not being able to handle legitimate heavyweights; he’s already been sparring legitimate heavyweights (and handling them with ease) since 2015. People seem to forget that Wladimir Klitschko kicked him out of the ring during a public sparring session because “he didn’t want to be outboxed on camera”...and that’s paraphrasing a statement from Klitschko himself. People seem to forget Usyk took Joe Joyce’s best punches–yes he isn’t the most skilled, but the man is a strong, heavy hitting pit bull that does nothing but plough forward at any weight–and easily won.
The only reason this is a “pick ‘em fight” is because Usyk hasn’t fought a game heavyweight yet. In every other aspect, Usyk is the favourite and expected to win.
