FURY v USYK IS A BELTER

Ahead of undisputed heavyweight showdown, legend Lennox Lewis says: I will be delighted to crown a new king after 25 years

LENNOX LEWIS insists there will not be a hint of sadness when he loses the crown of being the last undisputed heavyweight champion.

The plan is for the Brit to present the WBA, IBF, WBO and WBC belts to the winner of Tyson Fury against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia next weekend.

It will be a symbolic moment because for the first time in 25 years, one man will be taking over from Lewis as the last to be considered, without any doubt, the best fighter in the sport's glamour division.

Thanks to boxing politics, it would not be surprising if there is a similarly long wait for the next one to take over from the winner of this showdown.

"I would be delighted that there is another one because records are there to be broken," said former heavyweight star Lewis.

"I'm going to be happy that I've held it for this length of time, now I challenge the other heavyweight to hold his for the length of time I did.

"Being undisputed champion is so difficult. By the time you sit down and are enjoying it, there's three (now four) people that are saying I can beat you' and there's three (now four) belts saying 'you have to box this guy or that guy'.
