Tyson Fury explains how Oleksandr Usyk can beat him in their undisputed fight in Saudi Arabia later this month. The pair will meet on May 18 to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

The rivals were due to clash three months ago, but the bout was rescheduled when Fury suffered a cut in one of his final sparring sessions.

Fury is set to go into the fight as the favourite, having dismissed Usyk as a blown-up cruiserweight following the Ukrainian's move up a weight division.

But the Brit has now admitted he will have to have a greater desire than his fellow champion on the night. "I'm messing with an elite fighter who got more than boxing ability," he told Queensberry Promotions. "He's stubborn, and he wants to win like I do.
