    According to the Scene this is about to be signed...Ustinov has been sparring with Chisora in his preparations so he's ready.

    If your not familiar he's a 7ft tank only beaten by Pulev I believe.
    Very decent fight at this late stage if this is confirmed credit to all involved

    Its a coup for Wazza if it happens,and one for them over the others. But Ill believe it when they're both in the ring.

    I would be very happy if this came off, especially under the circumstances.

    Brave fight to take from Fury, but like I said in another thread also a good choice.

    Weirdest thing is that Ustinov clearly is a top 3 opponent on Fury's resume if he actually fights and beats him, and the first he doesn't massively outsize, outreach and outweigh and that on short notice.
    If Ustinov had a big punch I'd actually favor him to win, but now Fury by UD.

    Credit has to go to Peter Fury here, no doubt he will have been the main driver behind a good test for Tyson.

    As long as he came in no more expensive than Chisoras purse, War ren wont have had to do too much, wonder if he tried to get a deal with Furys next fight on BN in the hope the Chisora rematch will go ahead.

    It is a good test indeed, but a very different fighter then Chisora.
    Ustinov is a big static heavyweight and Fury must think of a good gameplan for this.

    I hope he can make this one entertaining.

    Is this the first time Fury has actually fought someone who is close to being his height?
