Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: British boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed on what Fury needs to do to win

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to go head-to-head in a historic fight on May 18 live on DAZN PPV . 

The two fighters will clash in Riyadh for the undisputed heavyweight title with the winner being the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four belt era. 

Fury in recent fights has not been afraid to showcase his punching power, but there are some concerns as to whether he will be able to use this to his advantage against an opponent in Usyk who is known for his slick footwork and ability to evade dangerous punches. 

Speaking to talkSPORT , British boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed explained what Fury needs to do if he is to topple one of boxing's best pound-for-pound fighters. 

"I believe that if he stands up in the 12th round, he will get his hand raised, regardless of what's going to happen," Hamed said. 

"I think it's going to be a hard fight. All I want him to do is stand on his feet.

"Stand on his feet at the 12th round at the end of it and, God willing, it should be a points win to him [Fury]."
