Former WBO cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson believes Fury, 35, will employ every tactic he can.
He told Boxing News 24/7: “I can see Fury, if he’s getting outboxed and losing the fight, reverting to type and fighting – not boxing – but fighting.
“It’s what he knows; he’s a fighting man.
“I see a close fight, with Fury very possibly using the dark arts in there.

“He did it in the [Francis] Ngannou fight, and if he finds himself under pressure, he will revert to type.”
Tony Bellew has claimed Usyk is a better pound-for-pound boxer.
But Nelson thinks Fury’s sheer size could cause problems for the Ukrainian technician, 37.
The pundit, 57, added: “I do agree with Tony.”
