Oleksandr Usyk has been warned by Canelo Alvarez that he will be in for a "difficult" night against Tyson Fury.
Usyk and Fury are expected to meet next year in the first undisputed heavyweight title clash since 1999. WBC champion Fury insisted he was retired from boxing after knocking out domestic rival Dillian Whyte in April, but the Brit made a U-turn on his decision after Usyk beat Anthony Joshua for the second time earlier this month.
The pair have entered negotiations for the fight, which was originally being targeted to take place in Saudi Arabia on December 17, just one day after the World Cup final. It's now been reported that the fight is now "highly unlikely" to take place on that weekend and instead being planned for either February 11 or 18 next year.
