Frank Warren has told talkSPORT the key difference between his man Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua when it comes to fighting Oleksandr Usyk.


The Gypsy King’s UK co-promoter joined talkSPORT Breakfast on Wednesday and explained how Fury will use his natural size advantages to better effect than AJ did on Saturday night.


“Look, Usyk’s done everything he can do,” Warren began.

“He was an Olympic gold medallist, the best cruiserweight in his division, undefeated, unified all the belts.

“He’s been a heavyweight for four years now, so he’s used to fighting heavyweights.

“And you think about him against AJ twice. AJ had a longer reach, much longer man, but Usyk actually out-jabbed him.

“He wasn’t doing what a smaller guy would normally do – to roll in and get underneath his jab and work inside – he was beating him on the outside with his jab.

“So he’s not going to be fazed about that.

“The difference is though with Tyson – he will stand and he will jab with you.

“If he’s receiving a punch and getting a jab, he’s not gonna back off, he’ll do it with you.
