Tyson Fury has described both Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois as “very limited” compared to him ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, who was at ringside to see Dubois stop Joshua five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September, is preparing to face Usyk for the second time in Riyadh on December 21, seven months after suffering his first professional loss to Usyk separate decision for the undisputed heavyweight championship.

“The Gypsy King” insists he will box in a similar manner when he takes on the Ukrainian for the unified heavyweight title and that he will also face his rival in the middle, which he says both Joshua and Dubois will not was possible when they competed against him.

“What can you expect from me?” Fury said during a personal conversation with Usyk TNT Sports.

“Pretty much the same as what I did before.

“Good boxing.

“For someone of my size and weight, it's not normal for me to be able to box, move and slip. So why should I take this out of my game?

“People say to me: go at Usyk, take him to the ground and hit him, but if it was so easy to do that, then why didn't Joshua do it? Who is a big, strong man?”

“Why didn’t Dubois do it?

“These men are limited compared to me, very limited.”

Usyk, 37, beat “AJ” twice on points and stopped Dubois, while Fury became the fifth Brit to fall victim.

The Manchester man believes his showboating cost him his first outing and has vowed to maintain concentration as he clashes with Usyk for three weeks on Saturday.

“I’m a boxer,” the 36-year-old added.

“Slipping, sliding, uppercutting, hooking.

“So I’m going to do that, but with more focus.

“A little more concentration on my job and then I think that’s my path to victory.”
