Jared Anderson doesn’t believe Tyson Fury is fighting for legacy as he gets ready to face Francis Ngannou later this year.  

Anderson is in action this weekend when he faces Andriy Rudenko but that hasnt prevented him from taking a wider look at the heavyweight division as he prepares to move into title class. 

This weekend, Oleksandr Usyk will defend his world titles against Daniel Dubois in Poland and after that, it’s the turn of Fury to fight.  

His lucrative encounter with the former UFC star has brought a fair share of criticism and Anderson has had his say on the division’s current rulers. 

“For Tyson, he wants the most money and if he is not getting the most money from fighting Usyk, then he doesn’t care for the fight,” said Anderson when speaking to FightHype

“He feels like he has already proved everything that he needs to prove to everybody else and I can understand that.” 

“Usyk is looking for legacy, to be able to say that he has been undisputed at cruiserweight and heavyweight, he’s chasing a dream. It's not about that for Tyson, he is trying to get the biggest bag.”
