Enraged Tyson Fury sets sights on destroying Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night: ‘Never been as confident in my life’

Tasked with avenging his sole professional defeat this weekend in his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, former gold holder, Tyson Fury claims he ios more than “confident” of landing a devastating win over the Ukraine native — as the duo lock horns for the second time this year.
