Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) continues to make confident statements about a possible confrontation with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). His enthusiasm is also supported by his trainer Javan "Sugar" Hill.

The Briton is the WBC heavyweight champion of the world. The Ukrainian holds the remaining IBF, WBA and WBO belts. The Gypsy King is likely to return to the ring this year with another opponent, but next year he could fight for the full unification of the king's division titles.

“Me and Sugar Hill are convinced that if this fight goes into the second half it will be a terrible performance on my part. I believe that I will finish Usyka by the end of the sixth round, and Sugar thinks that I will do it by the end of the fourth. So we made a bet with each other,” Fury said in his style.
