The two champions will settle their differences in Riyadh.

Former world champion Amir Khan is the latest name to give his prediction for tonight's huge undisputed title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. 

Fury and Usyk will meet for all four heavyweight titles in Riyadh live on DAZN, with the winner writing themselves into sporting history. 

With both men considered to be the heavyweight division's two best operators, it is proving difficult for fans and former fighters to pick a winner. 

Khan however has picked who he thinks will come out on top, but he did have a warning for Fury ahead of the opening bell. 

“It’s a massive fight for the heavyweight division – for boxing – and I just lean towards Tyson in this fight. But as it’s getting closer to the fight I feel like Tyson might be a little bit too thin. He’s lost a lot of weight," Khan told BoxingScene

“He seems very confident, but is he gonna have the strength? Usyk’s put on the weight – put on the power – and he might be the stronger fighter who’s gonna push back Fury. We know Fury can fight on his back foot, but we don’t know what to expect. Both are at the top. 

“I’m gonna stick with Fury to win the fight, definitely, but there could be a few scares. He might get caught – he’s not gonna feel comfortable in there. ‘Cause there’s gonna be times where Tyson’s gonna have to dig deep and he’s not going to be comfortable.

"This is a 50-50 fight, but I lean more towards Fury because he’s my friend. I can’t see Fury bullying this guy, because this guy doesn’t get bullied. Usyk’s not the type of fighter you bully.”
