Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: The 'Gypsy King,' known for his mind games, may have finally met his match

Fury tries his best to take the mental edge before a fight begins, but Usyk has proven to be a difficult nut to crack

As one of the most bombastic and unpredictable heavyweight champions since the man he was named after, Hall of Famer Mike Tyson, it has become custom for WBC and lineal king Tyson Fury to say one thing on a specific topic only to change his opinion entirely the following day. 

Part carnival barker, comedian and an expert on all things mental warfare, this is simply par for the course in the Tyson Fury experience.  

But as Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) settles in for what could be the most difficult threat to his championship reign on Saturday when he meets WBA, WBO and IBF titleholder Oleksandr Usyk in the first four-belt, undisputed heavyweight championship fight in boxing history, it has been interesting to hear a recent change in tune from the "Gyspy King" just days out from their long-awaited clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
