In my opinion, Fury would dominate. Between his huge size advantage-----that he knows how to use in the ring----his ability to take a very hard shot and recover, awkward boxing style that finds him doing his herky-jerky moves and punching from odd angles, I just can't see his coming close to losing.
That is, unless he comes into the fight totally out of shape, and I can't see that happening for the amount of money and the titles being on the line.
I can see Fury just walking this guy down all night long and once he gets close to Usyk, grab him, lean that massive bodyweight on the smaller guy and take his legs away when he's not actually hitting him with shots from all angles.

Hearn talking his usual baloney :
“I would favour Oleksandr Usyk in that fight,” said Hearn when speaking on The DAZN Boxing Show.
“I just think he’s so good. They’re both very intelligent fighters. It’s actually not a very good fight to watch but it’s an intriguing fight to watch. Tyson Fury doesn’t want to fight Usyk, but he may have to because the money is so big.”

Hearn is a hypocrite. Nothing new there.

Fury plans to fight Usyk two months after the Chisora, but says if that fight can't be made, he will take on Joe Joyce.

Well if DDD's mandatory already then suitable step aside money is the only way this can materialise. But if Team Usyk have to pay it all themselves then I don't see why they would and if Queensberry have to pay it to their own fighter then I don't see why they would either when he can just fight Usyk and then if he wins there's 0 risk to the outfit in an undisputed fight. There won't be any rematch clause for Usyk if he fights DDD next so that's the only good reason I can see for him paying Dubois to move over but I make Usyk favourite anyhow so I suppose he could just beat him and then fight Fury in the summerUsyk Promoter Expects Fury Fight To Happen "No Later Than March 4"

Fair to say DDD could present a real handful for Usyk. Stand aside might be win for all, with DDD taking on the Fury-Usyk winner.

Bob Arum now saying Fury and Usyk have agreed to fight each other next, without any interim fights.
That's a positive. Let's get this fight for all the belts happening before the belts get a chance to be split up.

It's a good matchup, for sure, but I think that the dubious one is cut from the same cloth as AJ: Powerful & skilled but one-dimensional, kind of stiff, and with a very questionable defense, especially on the inside. They both also rose to the top via a lot of creampuff opponents.
I think Usyk schools him in the exact same way as he did AJ.

The IBF has removed one of the potential obstacles in the way of Fury-Usyk by calling off the mandatory Usyk might otherwise have faced.
