Heavyweight boxing kingpin Tyson Fury has dismissed the credentials of former Olympic champion Oleksandr Usyk.

"The Gypsy King' says the Ukrainian would be a "lamb to the slaughter" against the elite of the division, despite a flawless professional record.

After a few troublesome moments in the early rounds, Usyk dispatched Derek Chisora last month with relative ease, earning a unanimous decision victory against the power-punching veteran.

That win has guaranteed the London 2012 gold medallist a future fight with Anthony Joshua, who reigns as WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight champion.

Fury isn't convinced the 33-year-old can hang with himself, Joshua or even Kiwi Joseph Parker, questioning Usyk's lack of power and size.
