Tyson Fury has labelled Oleksandr Usyk as too small to compete with him in their undisputed heavyweight world title fight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fury, who is the WBC champion will come up against Usyk who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts and ahead of the much-anticipated bout, the WBC champion Fury has cautioned the Ukrainian.<\/p>\n

Fury during the fight\u2019s press conference said the former cruiserweight champion Usyk will be \u201cfound wanting\u201d when the fight kicks off on 18 May in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can beat the average big ones but you can\u2019t beat the elite big ones, Size is what really matters and we have weight divisions for a reason,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Although Fury, ended the news conference by joking that Usyk would knock him out in the first round the WBC champion believes it is within his right to grasp a win against Usyk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Tyson Fury can\u2019t beat Usyk, Tyson\u2019s no good. End of, this is my time, my destiny, my era and my generation. Facts,\u201d he added<\/p>\n

Fury-Usyk will be the first time in the four-belt era that every title is on the line. The fight was scheduled for February but was rescheduled after Fury suffered a cut in a freak sparring accident two weeks before the fight. It is therefore slated to happen on Saturday, May 18, 2024.<\/p>\n
