The boxing world is expected to get its first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era on May 18 as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk clash at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, 'The Gypsy King' doesn't seem to hold the belts in the same regard as the rest of the pugilistic world.
In an interview with Donald McRae of The Guardian, the WBC titleholder claimed that he isn't motivated by the world titles, adding that he would give away the belts after beating Usyk this weekend:
"I'm just thinking about going in there, having a fight, getting paid, and going home. I don't know if I've told you this, but I'm giving all the belts to Turki [Al-Sheikh]. That's how much the belt means to me. Nothing." [H/t: The Guardian]"

Tyson Fury names "the real winners" in his fight against Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury doesn't see his fight against Oleksandr Usyk as the end-all-be-all for his life or career. However 'The Gypsy King' does realize the importance the fight holds for the boxing world.
Speaking to Sky Sports Boxing in the lead-up to the undisputed title clash, the undefeated Brit claimed that the fans will be the real winners of the fight:
"So the fans are the real winners aren't they, here? Me and Usyk, we've already got a few quids, so we earn a few more dollars on our bank accounts, yeah? Fantastic. However, someone is going to lose something that they already had before going into this fight. So going into this fight we're both complete, going out of it, one of us is going to be not complete anymore and that's why the fans are the winners really."
