Tyson Fury: "Next Saturday, I'll be dealing with a much more dangerous person than in the undisputed fight."

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) shared his thoughts on two upcoming opponents, former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, and WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF champion, Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).

"Many talk about a fight for undisputed championship, calling it a fantasy. But I believe that next Saturday, I'll have to deal with a much more dangerous person than in the undisputed fight.

Francis is bigger, stronger, more powerful, and has knockout abilities. As for Oleksandr Usyk, he doesn't really do much harm to his opponents.

Perhaps you could let Usyk hit you in the head, and you'd get a bruise under your eye. If you let Ngannou hit you in the head, he'll probably knock your brains out," Fury said in an interview with ABC News.

Fury and Ngannou will meet under boxing rules on October 28 in Saudi Arabia. Tyson's fight against Usyk is also planned to take place there, but there is no date set for that showdown yet. Usyk plans to be ringside for the Fury-Ngannou fight.

Ngannou's chances of winning and his negotiations with Fury were recently discussed by Usyk in an interview posted on his YouTube channel. Check it out here.
