FRANK WARREN expects Tyson Fury to STOP Oleksandr Usyk in their fight – and will work hard to wrap a deal up.
Usyk was in attendance to watch as Fury dominated Derek Chisora at Tottenham on Saturday.

And the Ukrainian was joined by his promotional team who, together with Warren and Bob Arum, are in talks to finalise terms.
Usyk was offered a shot at Fury this month but has had to rule out a bout until next year as he recovers from injury.
Warren told Queensbury Promotions: “He couldn’t fight, and he gave his reasons why and we confirmed that’s the fight we’re going to make now.
“We’re going to work hard to get it over the line.”
Usyk, 35, is coming off consecutive wins over Anthony Joshua to win and then retain the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
And after Fury, 34, beat Chisora for the third time in their trilogy series, it set up a historic unification bout.

And Warren predicted: “I think Tyson will stop him. I think he’s too big, much too big for him.

“I think they’re quite similar and have good boxing brains, but I just think Tyson, everything he’s got, he’s got better than Usyk.
“Usyk is a really good, he’s a great cruiserweight, and he’s been a good heavyweight.
“Looking at the two of them, Tyson, in every box that you tick, he’s better.”
