He expressed confidence that he would emerge victorious from the confrontation with the Ukrainian boxer, after which he would allow other heavyweights to compete for Usyk's belts.

"I will beat Oleksandr Usyk. I am the WBC world champion, I am the lineal world champion and I will become the world champion for the third time according to The Ring Magazine. I'm not really interested in other belts. I'll just make them vacant and let someone else take them. I will just take what is mine," Fury said.
