Tyson Fury has been told by light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev that he would we willing to help him in his efforts to punch Oleksandr Usyk.
The unified 175lb champion is one of the most feared knockout artists in the world, and has yet to go the distance in his professional career; knocking out everyone he has faced. The last time he did lose a fight was in London at the Olympic Finals in 2012, when Usyk handed him a defeat in the medal round of the games.
And he has joked that he would like to punch Usyk once again, as well as helping Fury "if he needs it". The Russian boxer holds three of the four major titles at light-heavyweight; the IBF, WBC and WBO belts, and is set to defend them against Anthony Yarde next year before pursuing a unification of his own against Dmitry Bivol.
