Sky Sports Boxing’s Johnny Nelson believes Tyson Fury is struggling to find a mental edge over Oleksandr Usyk, and has envisioned a controversial ending to the pair’s undisputed heavyweight title fight in Saudi Arabia…

I had a dream and Tyson Fury was in this dream. I’m trying to understand what I saw. It was controversial and Tyson Fury was not happy.

I don’t know if that meant Tyson Fury won controversially or Tyson lost controversially, but I know there is a controversial decision with this fight.

Mark that down! Tyson was p***** off, I don’t know if he lost or won controversially. But there is going to be controversy!

Tyson Fury, what he does, he plays the fool to catch the wise like he did with Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko disrespected him, undermined him, thought he was an idiot, a clown.

He gets in their face, he bullies them, he abuses them so they get angry and so they aren’t using their brain. Or he’ll try the pal effect, he’ll pal them up as if he’s his mate and then knock them out.

We saw it when he boxed Dillian Whyte, Dillian was full of fire and intention, and then they laughed and joked and had a dance, that wasn’t the Dillian Whyte that likes the smoke.

Even if Usyk could understand him, he’s playing ignorant as though he can’t, and to me that is rattling Tyson because he needs an edge. He needs to get the edge over an opponent, and that’s what has worked all throughout his career, he’s brilliant at it.

Tyson is a fighting man, once the bell goes he’ll try everything he can possibly get away with until the referee tells him off.

Will it get physical? Yes. Will he use every dirty trick in the book he can get away with? Without a doubt. It’s a fighting game. Most fighters when they get in there they play by the rules, and when they get hit low or with an elbow they complain to the referee and then while complaining they get beat up.

Cameroon-born Ngannou emerged with huge credit from his first foray into boxing when he knocked down WBC king Tyson Fury in a split-decision loss in Riyadh last October, and while former cruiserweight world champion Nelson believes Joshua will emerge victorious, he underlined the high-risk stakes of this bout.

“I think he comes through it with flying colours,” Nelson told Sky Sports News. “I think Joshua wants to be world champion again, I think Joshua knows what responsibility he will have. He will know ‘I just have to get through this fight and get the win’ because of the big pot of gold at the end of it.

Johnny Nelson backs Anthony Joshua to beat Francis Ngannou - but warns of  high risk in crossover fight | Boxing News | Sky Sports

“Common sense is risk-reward. For me, the risk way outweighs the reward. If Joshua somehow loses to Ngannou, that is it – credibility is gone, career is in tatters, and it is a lot of rebuilding.

“The risk is far too high, why would you? If you lose to him, all the Olympics, all the success, being two-time heavyweight champion, it is all gone, it has gone up in smoke because that is what you remember, you lost to a guy who had one previous fight before you.
