“Personally, I think Fury needs to fight Usyk the way he fought Steve Cunningham – another cruiser with quick hands and feet I think Fury needs to use his size, try to push Usyk, use his weight against him way to win him.
But Fury is a man you can’t count out. Whenever people write him, he comes back and delivers. So it’s hard to say, but Usyk is hard to beat. He is a stylistic genius. He’s very good, he knows what to do, he knows how to fight the big guys, the little guys. He understands which opponents he needs to move and which he needs to be aggressive and work from the front,” White told talkSPORT Boxing.
The rematch between Usik and Fury will take place on December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. In May of this year, in the fight for the title of absolute champion, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by split decision.
Earlier, Usik and Fury’s fees for the rematch were announced.
