Usyk's team said that without an honest referee, the fight will be very difficult

WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO/The Ring titleholder Oleksandr Usyk's (20-0, 13 KO) cutman Russ Anber spoke about the Ukrainian's potential fight with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KO):

"Fury is very mobile for such a big guy. When you look at him, you don't think that this body can do what it does in the ring. I think it's a compliment to him. If Fury fought the way fighters with his build should fight - clumsily, mechanically throwing heavy punches, then that would be great, great for us. But he doesn't do that. This hurt Deontay Wilder's chances and helped Fury achieve great success.

I think it will be difficult for Usyk because Fury has boxing IQ, he's smart in the ring, he can do different things. Fury can use his size and skills, he has good defensive skills and is hard to get clean on. Tyson is a big guy, he knows how to go right to the foul line, grab you and hold you, get on top of you.

You need an honest referee to issue a warning when Fury starts doing it. But he can do all these things that work for him. So, I definitely don't think it's going to be an easy night. Look, Fury is the heavyweight champion of the world, he can't be a simple opponent".
