Tyson Fury has been urged to make his undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk a \u2018filthy, garbage\u2019 fight in order to get the win.<\/p>\n

Fury, the reigning WBC champion, meets IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Usyk in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night to crown the division\u2019s first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.<\/p>\n

Usyk ruled as undisputed cruiserweight champion before moving up to boxing\u2019s blue-riband division, winning his world titles from Anthony Joshua before beating him again with another masterful display in a rematch a year later.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Ukrainian defended the belts again against another Briton in Daniel Dubois, surviving a controversial low blow before putting the Londoner down in the ninth round.<\/p>\n

Joshua was criticised for not making his physical advantages over Usyk work in their fights with the smaller man outboxing him for the majority of the 24 rounds they shared.<\/p>\n

Compared to Usyk, Fury meanwhile boasts a towering six-inch height advantage coupled with an extra seven inches in reach.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 struggled to impose himself on former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in his last fight last October, floored by the Cameroonian in a stunning third round before sealing a narrow split decision win.<\/p>\n

Dewey Cooper, the man who trained Ngannou for that fight, firmly suspects Fury came in unprepared and \u2018careless\u2019 against the MMA star, expecting a different story when he takes on the undefeated Usyk this weekend.<\/p>\n

While the eyes of the sporting world will be on Saturday\u2019s historic fight, Cooper has urged Fury to make it as ugly an affair as possible in order to halt Usyk\u2019s dazzling skills.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t think Tyson is going to make the same mistake Joshua made, trying to beat Usyk in a chess match,\u2019 Cooper told Metro.co.uk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think Tyson swarms him, makes it dirty, a real filthy fight. An old school hold \u2018em and hit \u2018em, lean on them, all that garbage. A really rough fight. If he does that he will be successful.<\/p>\n

\u2018If he just tries to pop that jab off and go boxer vs boxer, it will not work out even though he has those great attributes. I am sure he\u2019s smart enough to understand what he has to do.<\/p>\n

\u2018Tyson has something left in the tank, l he just needs to focus and keep disciplined.\u2019<\/p>\n
