Tyson Fury dramatically warned of 'controversial' result vs Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury's and Oleksandr Usyk have been warned that their much-anticipated bout could end in a contentious manner, with the British fighter potentially left dissatisfied.

The undisputed heavyweight world title fight is set to see both boxing champions vying for all four belts on May 18, following a postponement from their initial February date due to Fury sustaining a cut during a sparring session. Johnny Nelson, the former world champion, expressed his uncertainty about the fight's outcome, suggesting it might not conclude to Fury's liking.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Nelson shared his premonition, he said: "I had a dream and Tyson Fury was in this dream. I'm trying to understand what I saw. It was controversial and Tyson Fury was not happy.

"I don't know if that meant Tyson Fury won controversially or Tyson lost controversially, but I know there is a controversial decision with this fight. Mark that down! Tyson was p***ed off, I don't know if he lost or won controversially, but there is going to be controversy! "

With Fury and Usyk committed to a two-fight agreement, which is expected to occupy them until the following year, Anthony Joshua awaits his opportunity at the victor after his impressive knockout of Francis Ngannou last month.

In the event that Fury withdraws once more, Usyk's promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has prepared Filip Hrgovic, the mandatory world title challenger, as a stand-in. Despite being knocked down seven times in his career, Fury has never been knocked out, but Nelson predicts that he will end his career with a stoppage defeat by Usyk.

"I think both men can win by knockout, without a doubt," he added. "Each heavyweight fight Usyk is having he's getting more comfortable being in there with heavyweights. I know he had five heavyweight sparring partners, I spoke to three of them, and they said he got stronger as the rounds went on, and he manhandled all five of them.

"We're thinking that Fury's physicality is going to be a big problem for Usyk but Tyson Fury's physicality is his height, reach and speed, not the power. Speed leads to power - and both fighters can get knocked out. If Fury gets knocked out like Francis Ngannou did, he'll chuck it in."
