Fury:
"I'm the best. I'm just defending my 'best-ness' against him.
"We have weight divisions for a reason. When the cruiserweights step up to the big boys, usually they get found wanting.
"You can beat the average big ones, but you can't beat the elite big ones because size really matters. These are facts."
Usyk:
"I'm doing good, I'm happy and I'm hungry. I don't care how Tyson will be this week. I'm ready.
"For me May 18 is important, what Tyson does in the press conferences doesn't matter.
"I don't think about Tyson Fury now. I've seen him in a lot of fights. I don't know how he will box against me, we will see when we get into the ring."
Fury (35, 6ft 9in): 34-0-1 (24 KOs).
Usyk (37, 6ft 3in): 21-0 (14 KOs).
