Tyson Fury believes a win over Oleksandr Usyk puts him in a class all his own at heavyweight. WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) meets Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), who holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles, in an undisputed championship fight Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury, who’s beaten the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, and Otto Wallin, sees Usyk as his most formidable opponent to date. “I think he’s the best opponent I’ve ever faced, because I’ve fought world heavyweight champions before, I’ve fought undefeated people before, I’ve fought Olympic gold medals before, but I’ve never fought a two-weight world champion before,” Fury said in an interview with DAZN . “So, I think that puts him at the top of it all.” Fury’s most recent showing wasn’t his best.
