Oleksandr Usyk gave an update on his fitness ahead of his rematch with Tyson Fury.
The pair fought back in May, and will run it back in December after Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
The second fight will not feature the IBF belt as new champion Daniel Dubois will instead defend it against Anthony Joshua on September 21, live on DAZN .
In the aftermath of the first fight, Fury claimed he had broken the Ukrainian’s jaw.
Speaking to Sky News , Usyk explained that while he has taken some punishment over the years, his jaw is fine.
"No, not break my jaw," Usyk said. "Yes, I have a little bit of a problem but I have problems with my fist, my back, my whole body because it's a hard fight, 47 minutes.
"You see Tyson Fury, he's like a yeti. It's hard. My face is good, beautiful."
