Mofo2 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Tyson Fury will fight Belarus heavyweight Alexander Ustinov in Manchester on Saturday after original opponent Dereck Chisora pulled out with a fractured hand. Ustinov, who has won 29 of his 30 professional fights, was one of Chisora's sparring partners during preparations for the bout and was the British boxer's opponent when the injury was sustained. Fury said on Twitter that he "can't wait" for the clash to take place, describing it as a "better fight" than the planned match-up with Chisora. The 6ft 7in Ustinov, 37, represents a significant challenge for Fury, whose preparations were for a fighter who stands several inches shorter. Ustinov has beaten Britain's Michael Sprott, David Tua, Monte Barrett and Paolo Vidoz during his pro career, with his sole defeat coming against Kubrat Pulev - Wladimir Klitschko's next opponent in September - in 2012.
