And the fight aims to crown the only champion to hold all four WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts.

Usyk achieved the incredible feat at cruiserweight before moving up to the blue belt division.

But he suggested coming back down in the future.

He said TNT Sports: “Maybe I’ll go back to cruiserweight and win.”

The pair were originally supposed to fight on February 17, until Fury suffered a cut in sparring that required more than ten stitches.

And Usyk joked that the eccentric Gypsy King deserves an “Oscar” if he faked his injury while talking about his own preparations for the fight.

He said: “There will only be one champion.

“I feel incredible, as good as I did at the 2012 Olympic Games. Just as young and energetic, and with a great desire to move forward.
