Tyson Fury will be trying to become undisputed heavyweight champion when he faces Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.
Fury and Usyk are finally set to collide in their eagerly anticipated heavyweight showdown after a couple of prior postponements had delayed the fight.
Prior to the last postponement due to a cut Fury sustained in sparring, current cruiserweight world champion, Jai Opetaia was helping ‘The Gypsy King’ prepare for the biggest fight of his life but left camp after only a few rounds of sparring.

This sparked some wild rumours online that the Australian had done a number on the WBC heavyweight champion and was sent swiftly packing from the camp.
Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown has once again dismissed the rumours.
Speaking to Queensberry boxing he said:
“I’ll put a little record straight here, Jai Opetaia flew in – lovely kid, great team, great fighter. But all this rubbish about he put Tyson away and all that, you probably heard yourself.”
“It’s a load of rubbish. I think he was a little bit shocked at how good Tyson really was. He’s a cruiserweight, not taking nothing away from him – great fighter, lovely kid.”
