While speaking to talkSPORT, Tyson Fury praised Oleksandr Usyk for his last performance but claimed that top 15 heavyweights would t be “sweating about Usyk at moment”. Tyson Fury stated that heavyweight division is completely different than cruiserweight division, which Oleksandr Usyk ruled a few months ago. He claimed Oleksandr was able to come out victorious against Dereck Chisora because Chisora is smallest heavyweight in division.

“Being brutally honest, I think when he fights a big heavyweight who can punch a bit it’ll be like a lamb to slaughter,” Tyson Fury ded.

Usyk could jeopardise highly-anticipated Fury vs Joshua fight

By defeating Dereck Chisora, Oleksandr Usyk became next mandatory challenger for WBO title. Meaning, after Pulev vs Joshua bout, Oleksandr Usyk could challenge AJ for a title fight. If this happens, Anthony Joshua could eir defend his WBO title against Usyk or vacate it to fight Tyson Fury.

“Will he vacate a belt and fight Tyson Fury next? Yes, I believe he would if he h to, but would he rar maintain all belts? One million per cent,” Hearn told Boxing Social.
