Former WBO cruiserweight title insists Tyson Fury has to be the ‘best version’ of himself to beat Oleksandr Usyk in their undisputed heavyweight clash in May.
“It’s not personal. It’s strictly business for both fighters. There’s a lot of stuff on the line, but I don’t hate him,” Fury said of Usyk. “I respect him as a man, as a fighter.
“Anyone would have to respect the man’s achievements. He’s unified heavyweight champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion.”
