TYSON FURY has insisted that he could beat Oleksandr Usyk “after 15 pints”.
The Gyspy King has also revealed that the pair will be competing for EIGHT belts when they face off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury and Usyk will go head-to-head on May 18 with the winner becoming the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
It was initially thought that there were four belt up for grabs with the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF titles on the line.
However, Fury has insisted that there are actually eight being contested between the two.
He said: “Let’s get this one clear right now, there is a lot more than four belts on the line.

“You got the IBO, IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC, Ring Magazine, and Lineal.
“So for all you mother f*****s who said there are four you are wrong, there are seven.”
Promoter Frank Warren then interjected and pointed out one more.
He said: “It is eight, because there is the Riyadh Season belt.”

Fury then continued: “I stand corrected, there is eight belts in one fight, that must be a record.”
Fury also took some time to outline his confidence for the bout against Usyk.
The Brit claimed that he would not need to be near his best physical condition to come out on top, and would still stand a chance even if he drank 15 pints of beer the night before the fight.
He added: “If I didn’t train a day for this fight and was 25st and drank 15 pints of Peroni the night before, I would still beat him the next day.
“What would he do, just jib and jab me?
“I would need at least 15 pints of Peroni for a proper ding dong.”
