Tyson Fury's style can be 'very dirty', claims Oleksandr Usyk's assistant coach

But while this fight may not be next for both men, their respective training camps are excited for a potential history making clash.

Usyk's assisant coach Sergey Lapin believes Fury vs. Usyk would be a fascinating encounter between two fighters with a high boxing IQ.

"If this fight between my fighter Usyk and Tyson Fury took place, it would really be a confrontation between two guys with high boxing IQ," Lapin told MyBettingSites.

"It seems to me the fight would be more like a chess game, and victory will be in the hands of the one who will perform his task as productively as possible."

When it came to predicting how the fight will play out, it was no surprise that Lapin backed Usyk and he wasn't afraid to criticise Fury's fighting style inside the squared circle.

"Oleksandr is ready for any challenges, especially if he may have the opportunity to combine all the belts in heavyweight. His advantage over other heavyweight boxers is the ability to box, and it's worth a lot!

"Fury's style can be very dirty, if Oleksandr Usyk copes with Fury's dirty style, then victory will be his!"

All this noise surrounding an undisputed heavyweight clash produces plenty of excitement amongst fans, but in order for this to take place, Usyk must first get past Anthony Joshua in a rematch while Fury has to beat mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte in the first few months of 2022.
