TYSON FURY is completely different to the “bad guy” act he puts together in front of the cameras, claims rival Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk also reckons that Fury loves watching romantic movies and gets so moved he “cries a little”.
The two undefeated heavyweights are in negotiations over a blockbuster undisputed title clash this year amid their ongoing feud.
They had an intense confrontation after the British superstar defeated Derek Chisora in December.
The Gypsy King delivered an expletive-laden tirade towards the Ukrainian, who was watching from the front row.
But the 36-year-old claims Fury is completely different to what the fans saw after the bell at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Usyk told The Guardian: “I have been watching Tyson Fury get into the heads of his opponents for many years. And then I got into his head.
“When there are no cameras, he is completely different.
“He plays the bad guy for the cameras. I think he likes movies about love and when he watches them he cries a little.
“That’s not a bad thing. When I watch some movies, I shed a tear too.”
