The Briton compared his abilities to Usyk’s.
WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury shares his opinion about a potential fight with WBA, WBO and IBF belt holder Oleksandr Usyk.
According to the British boxer, he can beat the Ukrainian athlete after he has a one-week training camp.
“I’m not interested in Usyk. A guy nobody really knows his name? A pouty middleweight? It’s not my fault that he went out and beat bodybuilder Joshua. It’s not my fault that it happened twice in a row.”

“It’s always me. They try to compete but they lose. No disrespect to Joshua, but he just can’t do it at the elite level. I can beat Usyk after a week of training! Since he’s a middleweight, my fists. will go through his.”
Fury says he doesn’t respect Usyk and doesn’t consider him a good boxer.
“When Usyk was a beginner and was sucking on his mother’s breasts, I was the British heavyweight champion. As a beginner, he boxed at 75 kilograms. That’s why I called him middleweight. I didn’t say that it would be a easy job. But this talk about a legend pound-for-pound is nonsense, I don’t appreciate it highly. I don’t respect Usyk and I don’t think he’s a great fighter,” Fury was quoted as saying by talkSPORT .
It was previously reported that Fury had given a tough ultimatum regarding the Usyk fight.
