WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has severe doubts that Oleksandr Usyk could have the power to soak up the identical punches that Derek Chisora was rocked with earlier this month.
Again on December 3, Fury battered Chisora with heavy punches to pressure a stoppage within the tenth spherical at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Fury is now in wish to face Usyk, who holds the WBO, IBF, WBA, IBO titles, in an undisputed struggle within the first half of 2023.
In 2020, Usyk received a really powerful twelve spherical unanimous determination over Chisora.
Usyk is coming off again to again determination wins over British star Anthony Joshua.
“I do not assume [the fight with Usyk] is a tricky struggle,” Fury advised IFL TV. “I do not assume it is nowhere close to as powerful as outdated Del Boy. He is not going to stand as much as these punches that Derek did in opposition to me. Once I watch the struggle between him and Derek, whether or not individuals wish to admit it or not, it was a 50/50 struggle. It may need been 55/45, but it surely wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t like he did not win a spherical, like he did not in opposition to me.
“There’s not a person born that may beat me and I will stand and show it in opposition to anyone. I’ve proved it time and time once more, I am proper there by myself. I’ve seen individuals like Usyk many instances earlier than, smaller man that come up a weight to struggle the heavyweight champion and 99 p.c of the time they get roughed up.
“You’ll be able to by no means underestimate anyone however from the place I’m in my life in the meanwhile, I might wish to take him out fairly shortly. I might wish to get him in there in February, make an instance out of him, then give him a rematch at Wembley. If the Center East can ship like they’ve mentioned, we’ll do it there and if not we’ll do it in England at Wembley as a result of I can ship on this nation.”
