The legendary boxer was skeptical about the statement of the Gypsy King, who is not going to radically change anything in his training before the re-fight with the Ukrainian champion
Legendary British boxer, former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis told how exactly his compatriot, the ex-holder of the WBC heavyweight belt Tyson Furyprepare for a rematch with the WBO/WBA/IBO/WBC world champion Alexander Usik.
“Should Tyson do the same in his rematch with Usyk? No, it’s not that simple. Yes, Fury does need to make some adjustments. If he doesn’t make changes, we’ll see the same fight. He has to go into the rematch focused, with an attitude… he has to be able to throw a lot more punches. So I think we really will see a different Tyson Fury in the rematch. He understands what he did wrong in the first fight.”
Let us remember that on the night of May 18-19, Usik inflicted the first defeat in his professional career on Tyson Fury in a fight that took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The victory was awarded to the Ukrainian by a split decision: 115-112, 113-114 and 114-113.
An agreement has been concluded between Usik and Fury for a re-fight. The “Gypsy King” has officially activated the rematch option. The second fight between Alexander and Tyson will take place on December 21, 2024 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said he would seek the introduction of video replays in this fight. Oleksandr Usyk will prepare for the rematch in a training camp in Valencia. The Ukrainian said that he attracts scientists, psychologists to the training camp, and is constantly looking for suitable sparring partners. Tyson Fury said he will begin training six to seven weeks before the fight.
The first press conference and duel of the boxers’ views took place in London. Usik appeared in public to the song “Ave Maria” in the extravagant image of the hero of the computer game series Hitman. Fury came out to the song “Barbie Girl.” The event was hosted by legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer.
