WBC heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is picking fellow Irishman Conor McGregor to beat Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, promoting the matchup whilst training at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this week.
“My prediction for the McGregor-Poirier fight is that I think McGregor will win this time,” Fury, who is expected to take on Deontay Wilder in a trilogy bout of his own on July 24, said in a UFC video promo on Monday. “I think he’s trained hard, and he’s got it all to prove. It will be a great event and one to watch.
