Tyson Fury dismisses 'tap-dancer' Oleksandr Usyk as less of a threat than Deontay Wilder

Tyson Fury has dismissed Oleksandr Usyk as a "pumped up middleweight" and a 'tap-dancer' while saying he's less of a challenge than Deontay Wilder.

Fury and Usyk hold all of the belts at heavyweight, but the Brit believes that he has already faced the toughest test in the division in his trilogy with the heavy-hitting Wilder.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has accused Fury of not wanting to fight Usyk after a deal was tabled earlier this year to pay step aside money to both of their challengers Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte.
