SERIOUS TROUBLE

LENNOX LEWIS has told Tyson Fury to bin clowning around the if wants to get revenge against Oleksandr Usyk.

And the British heavyweight boxing icon believes 'The Gypsy King' cannot complain if he doesn't go out and win the fight clearly.

Fury, 36, is looking to avenge his only career loss when he takes on WBA, WBC and WBO champion Usyk this Saturday.

The Ukrainian turned their first fight around through the middle rounds after Fury had looked in control but spent some time showboating and it was Usyk who claimed the undisputed crown, following in the footsteps of Lewis.

"I saw the fight very close and I felt Tyson wasn't as serious as he should have been in the first fight," said Lewis.
