The former undisputed heavyweight champion has cast his verdict on the British rivals.
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are preparing to settle their long-running feud before the year is out.
Both men are returning to the ring in warm-up fights this weekend before they look to share the ring.
The boxing world remains split over who will emerge victorious, but their respective performances this weekend are expected to help swing the jury.
One man who certainly has the credentials to cast an educated verdict is Oleksandr Usyk, who has defeated them both twice.
Usyk told FightHype: “Anthony is more of a classic fighter, but greedy belly [Fury is like] a street fighter.
“Every round is [unpredictable].
“I started training for the first Fury fight in December 2023.
“But, [even before camp started], I was [preparing to] fight with Tyson Fury.”
Based on his respective 24 rounds with them, Oleksandr Usyk deems Fury as a more unorthodox operator than Joshua.
The slick southpaw faced Fury in a blockbuster undisputed showdown in 2024.
He dropped Fury in the ninth round before claiming a split-decision victory after a fiercely contested battle.
Usyk then retained his grip on the division by winning their rematch later that year.
He produced another masterclass to earn a unanimous decision and strengthen his claim as the era’s dominant heavyweight.
Before his comeback, Joshua teamed up with Team Usyk, which could give him an advantage against Fury.
