IN OLEKSANDR USYK, Tyson Fury will face a man who has done it all – but that does not worry the ‘Gypsy King’.
Usyk won all but 15 of his 350 amateur fights, collecting European, World and Olympic gold medals along the way.
He was crowned undisputed cruiserweight world champion after 15 professional bouts and dominated Anthony Joshua to become the unified heavyweight ruler three fights later.
And tomorrow night he will attempt to succeed where Evander Holyfield failed against Lennox Lewis and complete his set of belts in boxing’s premier division.
However, Fury insists he was far more fazed by the prospect of facing the destructive Deontay Wilder (right) than the unbeaten Ukrainian.
