Tyson Fury warned he "can't cope" with Oleksandr Usyk ahead of undisputed fight
Tyson Fury has been warned he won't have an answer for Oleksandr Usyk's skills and defence in their undisputed clash.
Heavyweights champions Fury and Usyk are now less than a month away from their fight in Saudi Arabia. One of the two will be crowned the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. Little has been heard from Fury and Usyk in recent weeks as they have both knuckled down in their respective training camps.
Fury is hoping to put on a better performance against Usyk than he did against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in his last fight, as he was dropped and only won by a single point. Former two-time featherweight world champion Josh Warrington isn't confident his countryman can get the job done against Usyk after his nervy fight with Ngannou.

“It’s a clash of styles. There’s not many fighters who stand nearly seven feet tall, can move the way Tyson Fury does. With that being said, the Francis Ngannou fight has done him no credit whatsoever. He didn’t look the same, he didn’t look like Tyson Fury of old," Warrington told Lucky Block.

"I know Usyk is a hell of a boxer, he has got so many skills. So I have sat on the fence a few times, I’ve kind of leant towards Fury a couple of times, but at this moment in time I’m leaning towards Usyk. The size difference isn’t that big and I feel that Usyk’s boxing skills and defence is just going to be too much.”
Fury's dad John said he struggled to prepare for the Ngannou fight which is why he looked sluggish on the night. These comments were recently called into question by one of Fury's sparring partner Solomon Dacres, who told Mirror Fighting before the fight that their training camp was going just as planned.
"Nothing changed, he is working hard and sparring hard. Plenty of rounds in, he is training as if Ngannou is the best boxer in the division. Just as hard as he would do for anyone else. There is no cutting corners, running the miles and doing the hard sparring. Preparing very diligently for this one," Dacres said.
