Oleksandr Usyk warned ‘there’s no telling’ what Tyson Fury will do as Ukrainian hero urged to fight Deontay Wilder next

OLEKSANDR USYK has been warned there is “no telling”; what Tyson Fury will do next – so he should fight Deontay Wilder instead.

Usyk, recovering from his latest win over Anthony Joshua, has set Fury a deadline of March 4 to agree a historic unification bout.

Oleksandr Usyk has been urged to fight Deontay Wilder next instead of Tyson FuryDeontay Wilder during his 2021 loss to Tyson FuryThe Gypsy King first returns against Derek Chisora in a bout to help him prepare for his Ukrainian rival.

But it was only in April that Fury announced his retirement, a common theme throughout his career.

So Wilder’s coach Malik Scott has advised Usyk to look at the American, who knocked out Robert Helenius in his October return.

Scott told ESNews: “I think he should hold off on Fury and wait for us, just fight us.

“One, because there’s no telling what Fury’s going to do. There’s no telling.”

“Plus I’m just greedy, I like the position that my guy, Deontay, is in right now – mentally, physically, spiritually.

“He’s just in a very dangerous space right now, and I want Usyk to fight the most dangerous fighter in the world.

“Like I said, don’t nobody respect Usyk on US soil the way that I do – but I also know who I’m training is the most lethal fighter in the history of the sport.”

Usyk, 35, ruled himself out of the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed decider having returned to his war-torn home for the first time.

It left Fury, 34, to take an unpopular trilogy bout with Chisora, 38, on December 3, despite his pair of one-sided wins in 2011 and 2014.

Usyk is ready to return next year straight into the super-fight with Fury, but only on his terms.

He said: “Right now my team is in conversations with Tyson Fury, and he is a really unpredictable person, so we can’t guarantee when.

“For me, the idea would be to fight maybe early February or the beginning of March, like March 4, because I am an orthodox Christian.

“During the great fasting before Easter I do not fight, so it should be all before or then after orthodox Easter.”;
