Frank Warren issues major Tyson Fury warning ahead of Oleksandr Usyk fight Associated PressFrank Warren has warned Tyson Fury that Oleksandr Usyk will target the cut on the Gypsy King\u2019s eye when the pair step into the ring next month. Fury and Usyk were due to meet in February, but the bout was postponed after an accident in Fury\u2019s training camp left him needing 11 stitches to fix a cut on his eye. Now, with a new date on May 18, Warren, who co-promotes Fury, has warned that Usyk will look to target the cut. \u201cWell, I would,\u201d Warren told Sky Sports. \u201cOf course he will.\u201d Yet the 72-year-old was quick to point out that Fury has been through worse. \u201cHe had a worse cut against [Otto] Wallin,\u201d the promoter added. \u201cTyson had a dreadful cut in that fight and won the fight convincingly with a bad cut, a real bad cut.\u201d Warren also admitted that despite Fury having his own potential area of vulnerability for the fight, the WBC champion is a master at finding flaws in his opponent. \u201cOne thing about Tyson,\u201d Warren said. \u201cIf he senses a crack or sees any weakness, he\u2019s the biggest exploiter of it and that\u2019s why it\u2019s going to be such an exciting fight. \u201cOn the other hand, Usyk might feel from the [Francis] Ngannou fight there are some things that he can exploit and I\u2019m sure he will. \u201cHe\u2019s a competitor from amateur days right up until the present day. He\u2019s done everything that\u2019s been asked of him.\u201d Asked what he thinks the outcome of the fight will be, Warren backed Fury to get the job done inside 12 rounds. \u201cI think Tyson will knock him out,\u201d Warren said. \u201cLike I predicted he would knock out [Deontay] Wilder in the second fight. I really fancy him to do that. \u201cI think he\u2019ll stop him, but I think it is going to be a real, real exciting fight while it lasts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
