Tyson Fury: I'm all that stands between Oleksandr Usyk and total domination in undisputed heavyweight title showdown

Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury has declared that he will put an end to Oleksandr Usyk's goal of taking full control in their upcoming fight for the unified heavyweight world championship on February 17th.

The highly expected showdown between the WBC champion and the united WBA, WBO, and IBF title holder Usyk was officially scheduled for the beginning of next year during an intense press conference in London on Thursday.

Usyk has already defeated Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois who are all fellow countrymen of Fury. However, Fury strongly believes that Usyk will not be able to defeat him in his pursuit to become the first contender to hold all heavyweight titles and undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis did it 24 years ago.

Fury informed Sky Sports that he stands as the only obstacle between his opponent and achieving complete control over Europe. He exclaimed that his rival has triumphed over all the British contenders such as Chisora, Joshua, and Dubois, except for him.

I'm fearless when it comes to swimming and being in the water, that's for sure. They might have to resort to using long-distance weapons to compete with me.

Even if he tries to defeat me, which is highly unlikely, he still won't be able to achieve complete control. I'm confident in my abilities because I am known as 'The Gypsy King'.

The announcement that the two boxers would come together in Saudi Arabia to merge all of the titles in the most glamorous division of boxing, was made one day after a heavyweight fight involving Joshua and one of Fury's previous competitors, Deontay Wilder, was revealed for December 23.

The upcoming event in Riyadh features several exciting matchups. Joshua is set to battle it out against Wallin, while Wilder prepares to face Parker. Dubois will be going head-to-head with Miller, and Hrgovic is set to fight De Mori in Usyk's IBF title match.

Fury recently won a closely contested split-decision match against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia. He praised the power of the heavyweight division and hinted that he played a role in organizing the December 23 event.

Just a month ago, being a heavyweight fighter wasn't a good situation, but now all of that has changed thanks to me," according to Fury. He feels like he's the one responsible for promoting the heavyweight division and bringing these fights to fruition.

I am endorsing the entire group of heavyweight fighters. They are now all working with me, every one of them - I have brought them all together under the name of 'Gypsy King'.

It's a certainty that if I wasn't around, they wouldn't be laboring on December 23. All the confrontations are of excellent quality, each and every single one of them. I possess knowledge of all of them as I had a hand in arranging them.

I cannot discuss this matter extensively while on camera, but I was considerably related to it.
