OLEKSANDR USAYK is certain that he can defeat Tyson Fury, having defeated Anthony Joshua once again.
The 34-year-old Ukrainian wrestler upset all the rules last month with a spectacular performance that saw him outpoint AJ in 12 rounds at Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
After beating Anthony Joshua
, Oleksandr Usyk is now a confident man
When Usyk rematches Joshua in spring, he will use his newly acquired belts to put them on the line.
He already has his sights set on AJ, the Gypsy King's dethronement and the unification of the heavyweight division.
SunSport asked The Cat if he could see Fury in a big fight. The Cat replied: "Yes, ofcourse, I do consider this fight to be a huge one. He is a great fighter and a good athlete.
"He claims that he is the king among the kings. But it's only him who believes that." This is all I can say about him."
When Usyk was further questioned about whether he could beat the Gypsy King undefeated, he said that: "Before my Joshua fight everybody was saying that I don't have a chance to win and defeat Joshua."
"Those were the things I used to hear throughout my life. But I am now capable of beating Fury. I don't boast that I can beat all boxers in the world. I just go to the gym to do my job.
"I train hard, work hard, and put in all of my effort. I don't want to be the king of all the Universe.
"I do what is necessary. I focus and concentrate, and I get the results according to my efforts.
Fury's complicated style was not discussed by Usyk. "I can't comment on his style because each fighter has his own style according his abilities and his tendencies," he said.
"So, I believe the most important thing is that his style wins him the victories.
"That's what matters most. Some people like it, some people do not. He is still successful."
