TYSON FURY has already made a bet with his trainer on what round he will beat Oleksandr Usyk in.
Fury wants to fight Usyk in the heavyweight division’s first ever four-belt undisputed title decider.
And the unbeaten WBC champion and his coach SugarHill Steward are adamant the historic unification bout will not go past the half way mark.
Fury told SecondsOut: “Me and SugarHill Steward both are convinced that if it goes six rounds, that’s a s*** performance.
“I’ll cut him down inside six, for sure. And Sugar reckons I’ll cut him down inside four. So we’ve actually got a bet on, which one gets done first.”
Fury, 34, had retired after knocking out Dillian Whyte, also 34, in April but appears to have confirmed his boxing comeback.

It comes amid talks to face Usyk, 35, who recently beat Anthony Joshua, 32, on points for the second time in 11 months.
But the Ukrainian has ruled himself out of fighting until next year, despite Fury wanting to return in December.
Usyk plans to rest and recover with his loved ones, having left his homeland to train amid Russia’s invasion.
But Fury meanwhile is not willing to wait around till next year and claimed he will announce his return fight NEXT WEEK.

He said: “Usyk was calling me out after his last fight with Joshua, I’ve replied and said let’s do the fight this year, wherever they want to do it.
“I’ve been waiting for offers from countries to come forward, and all of a sudden Usyk has stated he doesn’t want to fight any more, he wants to fight next year, not this year.
“So, I’m not going to wait around for anybody, I’m announcing a fight next week.”
