has revealed that he will 'relinquish' the front cover of the new video game Undisputed and give it to if he loses the rematch.

The game, which is scheduled to be released on October 11, will see boxing star Canelo Alvarez be the Standard Edition cover athlete, while Fury will be the Deluxe (WBC Edition) cover athlete. The upcoming video game is the first major licensed boxing game since Fight Night Champion launched back in 2011.

Speaking in an interview ahead of the console release of , the 36-year-old said: "I'll tell you what I'm going to do. If I don't win this rematch, I'm going to relinquish that front cover and give it to Oleksandr. That's what I'll do with the front cover. I'll relinquish my right to be on that front cover and I'll give it to Oleksandr 'The Great.' But if I do, what I think I'm going to do, then I'll keep the front cover. If I don't beat him in the rematch, then I don't deserve to be on that front, he does."

Usyk famously became the first man to beat Fury in a professional contest after the 37-year-old in Riyadh earlier this year. However, with just two months to go until the sequel, Fury believes he's as good as ever and has revealed he will adopt aggressive tactics for the December showdown.

“I’ve always been a bad man my whole life, and I’m still one today at nearly 40 years old; a few years off 40, but I like to say that,” Fury told TNT Sport. “I’m going to go in there with ‘destroy mode’. Last time I went to box him, I was being cautious. I boxed the head right off him. Let’s talk facts. Anyone can get caught, as we’ve seen in a lot of these heavyweight fights. But this time I’m not going for a points decision. I’m going to knock a m**********r out!”

Fury added: “I’m ready to rock and roll. I don’t need a 12-week camp, I’ve been boxing all my life. I’m ready to go tonight, tomorrow, next weekend, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday – it doesn’t really matter. I can come in the ring at 30 stone and do 15 rounds. I’m a natural at it and all I need is six weeks’ good sparring.”
