Tyson Fury expects tough fight against Alexander Ustinov

British heavyweight Tyson Fury admits that he is in for a tough fight against Belarusian opponent Alexander Ustinov on Saturday night.

British heavyweight Tyson Fury has insisted that his encounter with Alexander Ustinov will not go the distance on Saturday night.

Ustinov has stepped in as a late replacement after Fury's original opponent Dereck Chisora withdrew from their bout with a fractured hand, but the Morecambe-based fighter has admitted that the Belarusian won't be "easy pickings" when they clash at the Phones4U Arena in Manchester.

The 25-year-old told IFL.TV: "He's not easy pickings. He's as big as me, heavier than me, and he's got a better record than I have. He has more knockouts than I have fights.

"This is going to be a backyard rumble, and you better not blink because once I detonate on him, he's not getting up."

Fury is unbeaten in 22 matches, while Ustinov has won 29 of 30 professional encounters, with his one defeat coming against world title challenger Kubrat Pulev.
