TYSON FURY has been backed to beat Oleksandr Usyk when the pair face off due to his ability to “destroy anyone.”
The Gypsy King and Ukrainian Usyk are set to face off in a hotly-anticipated unification bout next year.
And with the pair holding each of the heavyweight belts between them, the fight would make boxing history as the first to see all heavyweight belts contested at once.
But former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has backed Fury to come out on top.
Taking to Twitter, he revealed the reasons which he believed would give Fury an edge over his rival, before delivering his verdict.
Froch said: “Tyson Fury is absolutely the best heavyweight in the world right now.
“Whoever you think is number two, would not even come close to beating him.
“He’s too big, too strong, too skilful, has complete self belief when he climbs over that top rope and quite simply destroys anyone!”
Fury won his comeback bout after battering Derek Chisora until the fight was stopped in the 10th round.
Following the fight, he called out Usyk who was in attendance in the crowd before they faced off with one another.
During their face-off, Fury let rip with an astonishing explicit rant in an attempt to goad Usyk.
However, Usyk simply responded by taking a phone call in the middle to leave fans in hysterics.
