The biggest heavyweight fight of a generation is just over two weeks away as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr will finally collide.
Undisputed honours will be on the line as the two heavyweight champions put all their belts on the line in a contest that will finally tell us who is the world’s best fighter in boxing’s most storied division.
Heading into the bout, there’s concerns about Fury’s form following his most recent outing against Francis Ngannou.
Fury was dropped by the boxing debutant before narrowly winning a controversial split decision.
Back in the gym to get ready for Usyk, Johnny Nelson, a former cruiserweight world champion, has revealed some rumours he’s heard surrounding Fury’s preparations.
“I’m hearing rumours of what’s happening in camp – I’m hearing that he’s getting turned over in the gym. So, this thing about appetite when he’s in the gym, I mean, he got shown his a—e,” said Nelson when speaking on talkSPORT’s Talk Boxing.
“I’m hearing these things and I’m thinking, has he taken his eye off the ball, or has time caught up with him? In regards to his last fight, I put that down to him disrespecting the man in front of him and if you’re led to believe he had the best training camp, his legs had gone.
“I’d expect Tyson Fury to beat Oleksandr Usyk, but the Tyson Fury who boxed Ngannou in his last fight gets knocked out. If that Tyson Fury turns up then it’s done, it’s over.”
