The WBC champion thinks he is in the driving seat.

Tyson Fury has little time for Oleksandr Usyk or Daniel Dubois after their fight two weekends ago.

Usyk, the IBF, WBA and WBO champion, stopped Dubois in the ninth round, but there was controversy when the Ukrainian was down in the fifth and looking unable to get back to his feet.

However the blow that sent him to the canvas was ruled illegally low by referee Luis Pabon, and he was given several minutes to get back to his feet, returning to beat Dubois.

"I thought he lost [to Dubois] and he quit so he's a little, quitting [coward]," Fury said, reported Sky Sports.

"And once you quit once you'll always quit, just like we saw with Dubois. He quit too, so that was two quitters fighting each other.

"It's tough to say somebody's quit but Usyk quit with a body shot and rattled around the floor like a little [coward] for five minutes and the other one quit with a jab. But the truth is the truth and that's it," Fury said.

He added: "I thought he was a warrior, I thought he was a true little fighting man. But he's clearly not, he's just a little wussy.

"I've been hit full-on, right [below the belt] with the hardest punches you've ever seen, I didn't roll around like that.

"It is what it is, you're a fighting man or you're not and if you quit once, you will always quit again. My father told me that when I was a child. If you spew it once you'll always spew it and that's the facts of the matter. End of.

"If Usyk is a good little boy, he might be an option but if he isn't, he will just be another foreign middleweight that stays out in the cold.

"I will beat him, and I won't even look for a body shot either. I will knock him out with a chin shot if that fight ever happens. If he is a good little boy and takes a small percentage of the superstar's money then he will get a fight.

"If he wants big bucks. If he wants a seat at the king's table then you've got to play ball with the master.

"He can go and fight someone else for [hardly anything] again like he did against Dubois. If he fights [Filip] Hrgovic, he will get [hardly anything] also and if he fights Zhang he will get even less."
