Tyson Fury has revealed a plan to have two bouts against Oleksandr Usyk with a rematch to be held at Wembley Stadium. The Gypsy King, who is 6ft 9 inches is confident that he will toy with the smaller Ukrainian who is three inches shorter than his heavyweight rival.
Fury plans to fight Usyk in the Middle East and ‘make an example’ of his opponent – and then give the Ukrainian a rematch in front of his home fans at Wembley. “There’s no man born who can beat me and I’ll stand and prove it against anybody, not a problem,” said Fury talking to the iFL TV.
“Where I am in my life at the moment and where I am with my career, I wouldn’t want to take him out quite quickly. I’d like to get him in there in February, make an example of him and then give him a rematch and do it back at Wembley again.
“If the Middle East can deliver like they’ve said they can for the last year or so then they’re going to deliver at the end of February and if they don’t then we’ll do it in England at Wembley.”

Usyk is an unbeaten former cruiserweight world champion who successfully moved up to the heavyweight ranks beating Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua on points. Fury, who dominated and stopped Chisora in the 10th round of their fight earlier this month, is confident of beating the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world champion.
“I don’t think it is a tough fight no,” Fury added. “He’s nowhere near as tough as old Del Boy (Derek Chisora). He will not stand up to those punches like Derek did. When I watched the fight between him and Derek it was a 50/50 fight, it might have been 55/45 but it wasn’t no landslide.
