Former boxing world champion Ricky Hatton says Oleksandr Usyk's size could pose Tyson Fury problems in their undisputed heavyweight championship fight.
The pair fight live on DAZN PPV on Saturday night, with the winner becoming the first undisputed world champion of the four-belt era.
Fury will go into the bout as the much larger man, with 'The Gypsy King' standing roughly six inches taller than his Ukrainian opponent - who only made the step up to heavyweight in 2019.
Speaking to Lord Ping, Hatton compared former cruiserweight world champion Usyk to a "little whippersnapper" and warned Fury of the challenges that will pose him.
"Tyson has never fought anyone as small as Usyk before," said Hatton.
"That could be a bit of a concern because it will be a new experience for him.
"When he fought Wilder, he was able to stand there and have it out with him. It was the same with Dillian Whyte.
"He’s used to fighting these massive units and now he’s got a little whippersnapper in front of him who will be flying all over the place.
"The fact that he's smaller makes it more dangerous for Tyson, because Tyson has been able to bully the previous heavyweights he’s fought over the last few years."
