Tyson Fury is only interested in ‘easy fights.’
That’s the verdict of Sergey Lapin, the trainer of Oleksandr Usyk, who is eager to see his man face Fury in an undisputed battle at heavyweight.
Usyk’s next move is still unconfirmed, but it’s likely the Ukrainian star will be a keen observer when Fury defends his world title against Derek Chisora in December.
Usyk, already an undisputed champion at cruiserweight, has made his heavyweight aspirations known from day one as he looks to hold all four belts.
He can only do that by defeating Fury, but with the Brit tied up with another opponent, Lapin is unsure whether Fury wants to accept the challenge posed by Usyk.
“Usyk has already recovered from the fight with Anthony Joshua. He's keeping himself in shape and is currently engaged in charity work,” said Lapin when speaking to Lord Ping.
“He's also waiting for the chatterbox Tyson Fury to finally have the courage to enter the ring with him. In the meantime, Fury fights Derek Chisora. This is not an interesting fight. Who will like this fight? Tyson is looking for easy fights.”
