Tyson Fury and Frank Warren aim to prove he’s “best” of this generation

Tyson Fury is aiming to prove he’s the best of his generation of heavyweight boxers, as per his promoter Frank Warren.

Next month, Tyson Fury will go head to head with Oleksandr Usyk for the second time. In their first meeting, it was Usyk who managed to secure the victory – and, in the process, became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Now, ‘The Gypsy King’ is looking for his revenge – and he isn’t going to go down without a fight.

After suffering the first pro loss of his career, Tyson Fury wants to prove to the masses that he still has what it takes to compete at the elite level. Of course, he’ll have made adjustments, and it’ll be interesting to see whether or not his changes pay off.

In a recent interview, both Fury and Usyk discussed the fight.

Frank Warren backs Tyson Fury

“All the doubters, all the journalists were saying Usyk is now up there with all the legends of the sport, the Muhammad Alis, the Fraziers, the Foremans, the Joe Louis, as being one of the greatest and certainly the greatest of his generation.

“And I’m pleased they’ve said that because when Tyson beats him no one can debate the fact that he’s beat the best of his generation which will make him the best of his generation.”

Fury himself gave his thoughts on what he can do to improve.

“I don’t think I can be any better than what I [was] because I think it was probably one of the best performances that I’ve ever done in my life. Although it didn’t get the result I thought it was a very fantastic performance against one of my best opponents,” he said.

“Can I be any better? Can I do any better? I can be more focused, less clowning and I think that’s enough.”
