Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Former Fury rival explains how Usyk can win undisputed fightTop Rank
One heavyweight believes that Usyk can cause problems for the WBC heavyweight champion.

Anticipation continues to build ahead of the undisputed heavyweight title showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 which will be available on DAZN PPV

With the winner becoming the first undisputed champion in the four belt era, there is a lot on the line for both men in what is the biggest fight of their respective careers. 

The contest presents an intriguing clash of styles with Fury, who has recently established himself as one of the division's hardest punchers, going up against Usyk who has been able to bring his slick fighting style to heavyweight after becoming an undisputed champion at cruiserweight. 

With both fighters at the peak of their powers, it is proving difficult to pick a winner, but some are giving Fury the slight edge due to the size advantage he has over the Ukrainian, however, a former opponent of Fury's, Otto Wallin, explained how Usyk can use this to benefit his game plan come fight night. 

"Usyk needs to go against Fury's body a lot. It's a big body. And use angles as he always does. He's a smart fighter and I'm sure they'll have a great game plan. Fury is tall, so it'll be easier to go against the body," Wallin told VegasInsider.com

“Try to not let Fury lean on him so much to tire him out. I'm sure Fury will try that.

“Fury will sometimes fight dirty, and I don't think I've ever seen Usyk fight dirty, but if Fury starts fighting dirty, Usyk needs to do something dirty back to show he doesn't have any respect for him.”
