TYSON FURY says fighting Derek Chisora is not a tune-up for Oleksandr Usyk — as he only needs two weeks of training to “splatter” the Ukrainian.
WBC heavyweight champion Fury was turned down by WBA, IBF and WBO boss Usyk and Anthony Joshua as they recover from their August bout.

So the Gypsy King, 34, agreed to a third fight with 38-year-old Chisora, with one eye on an undisputed decider with Usyk in March.
But the 6ft 9in,19st powerhouse insists Usyk, who narrowly beat Chisora on points in October 2020, is overrated.
He said: “I’m not preparing for Usyk at all. I’ll train for him for two weeks. I do not rate him.
“People keep going on about Usyk… why couldn’t he do anything with Chisora when they boxed?
“I’m going to splatter him. How’s he going to do anything with me? He’s not.”
Fury takes on Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3.
And the Mancunian is confident he will see off Del Boy again having beat him in 2011 and 2014 — before then taking three fights next year.
An Usyk double and then a dance with the best challenger remaining looks on the menu.
But Fury, who regularly threatens to retire, is now claiming he will struggle to walk away from the sport amid his mental health struggles.
He added: “I don’t think I can live a normal life.
“I feel I need medical help to be able to do that and if there is somebody out there who could help me, I’d love them to get in touch.
“I won’t be able to leave this game and have a normal life unless I’m brain-trained to do that because a normal life is out of order for me.
“I’ll just keep going, keep fighting. I’m going to have three fights next year, starting in February with Usyk and if he wants a rematch, he can have a rematch.
“Then someone at the back end of the year — Deontay Wilder if he’s mandatory, Joe Joyce, Daniel Dubois, there’s plenty of British beef to go after Chisora.”

Londoner Chisora, who has lost three of his last four fights, has now got a shot at the title and a £2million early Christmas present.
And the veteran reckons he knew he was in line for the trilogy as far back as July because AJ has too many brands and business people to please.
He revealed: “AJ could not take the fight because there were so many complications with sponsors and promoters.
“The fighters always want to fight but the complications come from the business people around them who get in the way.
“The managers and promoters get in the way, they make it difficult. Even this fight and contract was a headache stressing me out.”
Fury backed that up by saying: “I believe the final excuse was that their sponsors were conflicted.
“If my sponsors told me I can’t fight Derek Chisora next, do you know what I’d say?, ‘Here’s the middle finger, spin on it’.”
Turning on AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn, Fury added: “I’m going to say what I said to Eddie — the difference between me and your man is that your man is a businessman and I’m an effing Spartan.”
