TYSON FURY has claimed he will have Oleksandr Usyk running “like a little b****” when the pair face off.
The Gypsy King is set to face off with Usyk in the heavyweight boxing division’s first ever four-belt unification bout.
But Fury believes he has the advantage and has already given his prediction of how the fight will go.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Fury said: “I’m going to try my heart out to do this Usyk fight for the undisputed championship.
“It’s a fight that he wants so he says. And I want, we all put it all on the line again and we’ll see who wins.
“I don’t think he’s big enough and strong enough to stand up to the punches, and he’s a natural lighter man.

“When we were both younger, as amateurs, Usyk was a middleweight at the same time I was super heavyweight and weighed 110 kilos.
“It’s a challenge, but he’ll be running away like a little b—- all night. And I will hunt him down and when I get hold of him he’ll be crushed.”
The fight between the pair has been backed to sell out a record-breaking 95,000 seats if it is held in the UK by former cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson.
He said: “The timing is perfect. It has to be the first quarter. The potential date has been set. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t fight each other next.

“I think it’s the perfect match-up for two unorthodox fighters, and it’s going to split opinion.
“If the fight happens, it’ll exceed the 95,000 sellout with Fury and (Dillian) Whyte if they did it here in the UK. So, I think that fight will be big.”
Fury’s championship defence against Whyte in April saw him draw a crowd of 94,000 to Wembley.
The fight will see Fury put his WBC belt up against Fury’s WBA, IBF, and WBO belts which he won – and defended – from Anthony Joshua.
