Oleksandr Usyk is the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years .

The 37-year-old returns to Saudi Arabia to defend his WBA (Super), WBC and WBO titles against Tyson Fury on Saturday .

The Gypsy King says he stopped speaking to wife Paris Fury for three months during his training camp for the rematch.

Fury has promised a knockout which will send him into retirement.

If a third judge had given one of the closer rounds to Fury instead of Usyk six months ago , Britain would have celebrated an undisputed heavyweight champion.

"He's important but not only for me but for future history, for boxing in the world," says the Ukrainian boxer.

A Fury victory this weekend could set up the trilogy.
