Fury: "A rematch with Usik? I can die in the first fight"

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has responded to the question of whether he will fight two bouts against the current holder of the remaining belts in the division, Oleksandr Usyk.

The Briton and the Ukrainian are set to determine the first outright heavyweight champion since 1999 on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"A rematch with Usik? Look, I always take one fight at a time. I could get brain damage and die in the first fight against Alexander, there's no point in looking that far ahead. Or I could get hit by a train, who knows? One fight at a time. But if I'm alive and well and in good shape, then we can fight again," Fury told The Stomping Ground.
