Promoter Tyson Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, has once again commented on the upcoming championship bout in the super heavyweight division, recalling Alexander Usyk's fight against Daniel Dubois.

The promoter remains convinced that the Dubois punch was legal, insisting that Usyk's waistline was too high, and the referee's decision was unfair.

"We want to get all these things done. We want no controversy. We want referee in there who everybody respects and will be very, very strong.

I'm sure they're going to use every trick in the book and that's boxing isn't it? That's what's going to happen and Tyson's a seasoned pro, a seasoned warrior and he knows what he's got to do.

His [Usyk's] Achilles' heel, as I've said, and I'm surprised the so-called experts never picked up on it, has always been his body. Daniel Dubois, that's what he was trained for, to go and exploit that and he nearly pulled it off. I think [Fury] will stop him but I think it going to be a real, real exciting fight while it lasts." he told Sky Sports.

Earlier, Warren criticized Usyk, referring to the Ukrainian as a "whiner."

The fight between the "Gypsy King" and Usyk will be the main event of the evening on May 18. Earlier, organizers announced the full undercard for the boxing event in Riyadh.
