He gave his view ahead of the fight.

Tyson Fury shrugged off concerns that he could be vulnerable to Oleksandr Usyk after suffering a cut in training.

The pair of fighters were due to meet in February, but a cut above Fury’s eye led to a three-month delay.

The undisputed clash will now go ahead on Saturday, live on DAZN PPV.

Some believe that scar tissue remains vulnerable to attack for the rest of a fighter’s career, so there is a chance that the Ukrainian world champion will single out that area for special attention in the ring.

However, Fury has swatted away any worries about the cut opening up again.

"The cut, it is what it is. If it opens up in the fight, fantastic," he told Sky Sports. "It's not like I've not been cut before is it?

"I heard [Wladimir] Klitschko say a way how to beat me is target the cut - that's not going to beat me. What are you going to do? Cause some blood to come out, a bit of blood on me. Some blood trickling down my face, that isn't going to stop me.

"I just hope the referee lets me get a cut eye, if it happens.

"You need an army to stop me. Never mind a cut eye."
