Tyson Fury clarifies major detail with X-rated speech ahead of seismic Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has revealed there are actually eight belts on the line for his fight with Oleksandr Usyk - instead of four.

The Briton appeared at a press conference on Wednesday and opened up about the bout, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on May 18.

It has been commonly stated that there will be four belts on the line for the fight, which is arguably the biggest of the 21st century.

Yet Fury has now clarified things and claimed there's actually eight on the line - with a bit of help from promoter Frank Warren.

"Let's get this one clear right now, there is a lot more than four belts on the line," he said.

"You got the IBO, IBF, WBO, WBA, WBC, Ring Magazine, and Lineal.

"So for all you mother f*****s who said there are four you are wrong, there are seven."

Warren then interjected and said: "It is eight, because there is the Riyadh Season belt."

And Fury, unabashed, added: "I stand corrected, there is eight belts in one fight, that must be a record."

Fury looks to be in great shape ahead of the fight.

The Briton has slimmed down and looks leaner than he did during his showdown with Francis Ngannou back in October.

Fury was poor that night, leading to many to criticise the Gypsy King for what they perceived to be a lack of preparation.

But the 35-year-old insists he'd beat Usyk regardless of his weight, joking that he would even get the better of the Ukrainian after 15 pints of Peroni.

"I think if I did not train at all for this camp and just came in at 25 stone and sank 15 pints of Peroni beforehand, and the next day go in there, what's he going to do? Jib-jab me around?" he said.

"Take nothing away from him but he could not do anything with Derek Chisora.

"We all saw that fight. It was a 50-50 fight it could have gone either way.

"So not unless he's come on - at 38-years-old - in the last two years, leaps and bounds.

"This guy's going to do me on rounds? I don't think so."

And Fury has revealed his father, John, has joined his camp to ensure he's got the best chance possible of beating Usyk.
