TYSON FURY called Oleksandr Usyk and “old man” with “250,000 miles on his clock” as he broke down their undisputed super-fight.

Oleksandr Usyk is in line to fight Tyson Fury next year

It sets up a historic unification clash between them which could promise the heavyweight division’s first four-belt champion.

But Fury, 34, is not phased by Usyk’s unbeaten record or extensive amateur career in which he amassed a 335−15 record.

He said: “Usyk’s older than me actually, so he’s about 35, I’m 34.

“So, it’s an even match, if he was 22, it might be different, but he’s an old man. He’s had 300 amateur fights, he’s worn out too.

“He’s got about 250,000 miles on his clock. He’s had 315 amateur fights or something and he’s had about 20 professional fights.

“I don’t believe he’s got the best footwork in boxing, I don’t believe he out-speeds me either.”

The pair of undefeated heavyweight stars are closing in on a deal for the unification bout in early 2023, likely set for Saudi Arabia.

Fury said: “We’re hopefully gonna see the biggest year of my career. 2023, we’re gonna get the big fights that the fans really crave.

“First of all let’s talk about Usyk. I’m ready, I’m willing, to take on Usyk next – whether it’s gonna be in Saudi Arabia or back here in the UK. Both places will be fantastic.

“And let’s give the fans one champion, one name, one face. Usyk’s up to the challenge. He came over tonight, so fair play to him.

“He’s not an easy boxer to figure out, he’s a slick, southpaw mover with very good skills, Olympic gold medallist.

“And he’s coming on some good form so I’m really looking forward to the challenge.”
