# Derek Chisora Names Usyk’s Toughest Fight: “He’ll Get Laid Out”

Oleksandr Usyk has eyes on both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder before he hangs up the gloves – and believes he knows which will be the harder night.

The Ukrainian built his legacy in a competitive cruiserweight scene, becoming undisputed in 15 fights before moving up and starting to belt-collect in the sport’s top division.

He has three out of the four puzzle pieces following victories over Anthony Joshua, and is targetting a fight with Fury for his chance to become undisputed two times over.

Whilst many consider ‘The Gypsy King’ the best heavyweight on the planet by a distance, Usyk believes a harder fight for him will be Wilder – the American knockout artist who has been beaten by Fury twice.

Despite not holding a world title, Usyk has expressed an interest in testing himself against Wilder – who has 42 knockouts from 43 wins – in the future.

[Derek Chisora was the Ukrainian’s second fight in the heavyweight ranks](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/boxing/12120483/usyk-vs-chisora-highlights), and knows his fighting style well. He believes that he’s correct to be wary of Wilder. In fact, he told [Seconds Out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaMjd1QjuXw&t=102s) that the power puncher from Alabama stops Usyk.

> “Yeah \[Wilder is a tougher fight than Fury for him\], cause he knows Deontay Wilder’s gonna lay him out.”

Wilder has said Usyk is ‘scared’ to fight him and, [whilst the champion disputes this](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/usyk-responds-to-wilder-saying-hes-afraid/), he’s more likely to be facing Fury next.

The pair are expected to re-enter negotiations for their fight towards the end of the year assuming bouts in August – Usyk versus Daniel Dubois – and September – Fury versus TBA – are won without incident or injury.

As for Wilder, he’s rumoured to be facing Andy Ruiz Jr before moving towards a fight with Anthony Joshua.
