Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide in just two weeks for undisputed glory.
The heavyweight titlists put all of the major belts on the line with the winner being the first four belt undisputed heavyweight champion.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren acknowledged that ‘The Gypsy King’s’ last fight was unconvincing, but believes his man will be back to his best against the Ukrainian.
He said: “[Tyson] got clipped in the [Ngannou] fight but he did what a champion does and that is get back into the fight. He’s got a good chin, recovers and won the fight.

“I wouldn’t look too much into that Ngannou fight. With Tyson, that’s probably his worst performance as a champion, against Ngannou. You look at all his other performances and he’s raised his game.
“Years ago, when he fought Klitschko, it was pure boxing. He went out there and gave him a boxing lesson, in his adopted backyard in Germany.
“You look since the second fight with Wilder, he’s changed his style, he goes on the front foot and he’s throwing shots.
“He’s taking a few by the way, he’s had to get off the floor a few times, but he’s changed his style quite a bit. He’s shown what a puncher he is.
“This thing about ‘he’s not a big puncher’. Go and look how many stoppages there are on his record. You only get stopped if you can’t take any more. That’s what he does.
He concluded: “I think that’s what’s going to happen to Usyk. He’ll do him at his own game. Because he’s very, very smart.”
