“You Must Make One Big Change Before Usyk Rematch Johnny Nelson Warns Tyson Fury

Jonny Nelson continues to share his concerns for Tyson Fury ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk out in Saudi Arabia on December 21.

Fury is currently dealing with something he has never had to deal with as a professional boxer: a loss.

He was given his first after 12 hard-fought rounds with Usyk in May. It was a close contest that saw both many have success, but Usyk came out on top.

The Brit has now announced his return to the gym and post on social media to declare that he is motivated to come back from his first loss and regain his world titles.

One of the potential issues fans and pundits have discussed after their first fight was that Fury’s corner had the loud voices of father John and trainers SugarHill Steward and Andy Lee all competing with one another to give instructions.

elson addressed that in particular and said it needs to change ‘massively’.

“There needs to be a massive change. If he doesn’t change that then there is a problem, there needs to be a massive change.”

Fury has been with SugarHill since his second fight with Deontay Wilder, scoring a string of knockout wins thereafter.

I don’t believe Tyson will fight Oleksandr Usyk next, or again. He either packs in or if Usyk retires or packs in then we see Tyson. He will retire because of the manner of the defeat – he’s struggling to deal with it.”

“He’s Flattered By Low Level Opponents” Carl Froch Predicts Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua

Although Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are still yet to share the ring, they now have mutual losses to the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

The Ukrainian’s first taste of heavyweight titles was when he won ‘AJ’s unified belts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in 2021. He repeated the result one year on in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to retain.

Usyk made one defence of the IBO, WBA and WBO straps against Daniel Dubois – a stoppage win – before entering into the four-belt clash with Fury, who brought the WBC to the table.

Despite some success, the Brit took a beating in round nine that resulted in a knockdown and ultimately lost him a split decision on the cards.

Speaking to Lord Ping, former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch backed Fury’s decision to activate his rematch clause for a second crack at Usyk, rather than pursuing an all-English battle with Joshua.

“I’m not surprised Fury’s activated the rematch clause, where else can he go? Does anyone want to see Fury and Anthony Joshua – it’s two losers isn’t it? You’ve got two losers there fighting over second place. It would have been huge if Fury beat Usyk, but now it’s two losers in a rubber match. I’m not that excited about it, if Nottingham Forest are playing I’m watching that instead.

Fury should try and rectify the defeat to Usyk. I think he needs to rectify the loss if he’s going to be remembered as a top fighter of the era. To be remembered the best, he’s going to have to beat Usyk.”

As for who he would pick to win the Fury-Joshua bout should it take place, Froch said Fury is the favourite on current form, despite ‘AJ’ being on a run of four victories since failing to win his belts back.

“Fury-Usyk was a close fight, so I’d make Fury the favourite against AJ. What’s AJ done since losing to Andy Ruiz? He’s had comeback fights against opponents who didn’t want to be in there with him, he lost twice to Usyk and he beat Ngannou in an exhibition.

AJ has been flattered by the low-level opposition he’s been fighting at. If Fury jumps in there with AJ now on the back of that performance, I’d make Fury the favourite.”

‘It will be even worse’ – Oleksandr Usyk teammate beaten by David Benavidez sends warning to Tyson Fury

Oleksandr Gvozdyk doesn’t fancy Tyson Fury’s chances in a rematch with his teammate, Oleksandr Usyk.

‘The Gypsy King’ suffered his first professional defeat when he clashed with Usyk for the undisputed WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight championship in Saudi Arabia last month.

A second bout between the pair has been scheduled for December 21.

However, Gvozdyk thinks it will be one-sided in Usyk’s favour.

“I think it will be even worse for Fury in the rematch,” he said.

“I know Usyk – once he catches you, he won’t let you go. Usyk is going to be even more confident in the next fight. Fury is better off fighting Anthony Joshua.

“The first fight was just a brilliant performance. He beat Fury everywhere, in and out of the ring.

“Fury likes to play mind games; in this case, it was the complete opposite. I think Usyk got in his head. I didn’t see Fury as confident as before when he was a killer and super-confident.

“With Usyk, he was trying to do the same, but you can see in his eyes and by his mimics that he’s different and nervous. He was nervous in the ring. Usyk is the well-deserved No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.”

Gvozdyk, who won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics, began his career with 17 consecutive wins, which included a WBC light heavyweight title victory over Adonis Stevenson.

Since then, the Ukrainian has struggled when matched against the best.

Artur Beterbiev spoiled his undefeated record with a tenth-round TKO in 2019.

After three comeback wins, Gvozdyk fought another top boxer, David Benavidez, on Saturday night.

At 37 years old, Gvozdyk’s future in the sport looks uncertain after a second loss.

Whatever happens, he’s confident that Usyk will continue to fly the flag for their shared homeland. Firstly, by beating Fury and then by taking on whoever is next in line at heavyweight.

‘I am inevitable’ – Tyson Fury returns to gym after night out with video message to Oleksandr Usyk ahead of rematch

Tyson Fury has broken his social media silence with a vow to avenge his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

The 35-year-old lost out on becoming undisputed champion after being outpointed by Usyk last month, but will get an immediate shot at redemption in a sequel on December 21.

Footage went viral of the ‘Gypsy King’ this week, which showed him stumbling outside a pub after being escorted out of the premises by security following some downtime.

After a period of radio silence following his loss, Fury has vowed to come back stronger than ever in a video from the gym hitting the punchbag.

He shouted in footage on Instagram: “December is going to be my time. I’ve done everything in boxing, but I will come back for more.

“I will relish it and come back and redeem myself. December 21 is all me. Undisputed here we come.”

The caption also read: “Listen up! I’ve conquered everything in boxing – titles, records, the lot. But I’ve never had to come back from a loss.

“On December 21st in Riyadh, in the heart of the kingdom, the king will reclaim his throne and become undisputed. @usykaa, I’m coming for you! Get ready for the Gypsy King!

“The path to redemption is all mine. I know what I have to do, I saw my shortcomings and best believe I am inevitable.”

Earlier in the week, Fury was described as having a ‘few too many’ in a jolly evening at a local pub in Morecambe.

Fans on social media have questioned his behaviour, but talks of anything more sinister appear far from the mark.

Fury will need a career-best performance to overturn the defeat, which was a big blow given it was his first in the professional ranks.

The ‘Gyspy King’ of course still possesses the tools to do so, and talkSPORT host Simon Jordan has defended his actions in the viral video.

 GYPSY KING ‘BACK IN THE GYM’ AHEAD OF REMATCH FOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLES

Tyson Fury has sent a message to Oleksandr Usyk, saying he is “counting down the days” until he can get his revenge over the Ukrainian. The Gypsy King suffered the first defeat of his professional career against Usyk last month, but says he is “back in the gym” and ready to get “redemption”. The rematch has been set for December 21 in Saudi Arabia.

Tyson Fury says he is “back in the gym” and ready to get “redemption” in his highly-anticipated rematch against undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The ‘Gypsy King’ fell to the first loss of his professional career last month, losing via split decision to Usyk.
The loss saw Usyk become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, adding Fury’s WBC belt to his WBA, WBO and IBF titles.
While a rematch was scheduled shortly after the first bout, there have been questions over whether Fury may retire ahead of the December 21 meeting.
However, the 35-year-old broke his silence, confirming his intention to get revenge against Usyk and do something he’s never done before: come back from a loss.
“Back in the gym as you can see. Counting down the days until I can get my redemption on Usyk,” Fury said in a video posted on Instagram, where the boxer can be seen hitting a punching bag in the gym.
“I’ve conquered everything in boxing – titles, records, the lot. But I’ve never had to come back from a loss,” he added in the post.
“On December 21st in Riyadh, in the heart of the kingdom, the king will reclaim his throne and become undisputed … I’m coming for you! Get ready for the Gypsy King!
“The path to redemption is all mine. I know what I have to do, I saw my shortcomings and best believe I am inevitable.”
Fury narrowly lost in the epic first encounter, and appeared to be winning before getting caught in the ninth round.

While Fury managed to recover, two judges gave the fight to Usyk, 115-112 and 114-113, while a third favoured Fury, 114-113.
There are still doubts over whether the rematch will be for the undisputed title, with Usyk requesting an exemption from the IBF after the sanctioning body said it would strip the champ if he did not immediately fight the mandatory challenger.
Fury said he is coming for the undisputed crown: “I relish it, the chance to come back and redeem myself. Gear up, December 21st, it’s all me. Undisputed here we come.”

No Doubt ” Anthony Joshua Would Knockout Tyson Fury Former Heavyweight Champion Has No Doubt

The teams of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are adamant that the two will star in an all-British heavyweight clash before retirement.

Fans are a little more skeptical given the fight has failed to cross the line on a number of occasions, but with Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season now dictating the heavyweight division, and doing so through top matchmaking, it becomes a little more likely.

The two former champions have both now been relieved of their belts by Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian took Joshua’s unified titles back in 2021 and became undisputed this year by winning Fury’s WBC.

Although Fury has a contracted rematch clause – as did ‘AJ’ back in 2022, a second loss – the Joshua fight will be there next year and it’s last chance saloon to make it.

Should it happen, the man credited with causing the biggest upset the heavyweight division has ever seen, James Buster Douglas, backed ‘AJ’ to score the stoppage in an interview with Gambling Zone.

“Right now I think AJ beats Fury. It’s not that Fury is on the decline, he just no longer has that strength to withstand that force. Once you start putting your punches together, he tends to get weak as the fight goes on and his power levels start faltering.

READ MORE : I’ve fought Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury but the hardest punch…..

It’s a strong possibility that AJ would Fury out, I think he would. He would definitely take Fury out. It would not go the distance, AJ would knock him out.”

Douglas, who shocked the world when he knocked Mike Tyson out in 1990 to become undisputed, believes that this generation of heavyweights pales in comparison to his own.

“I speak to my trainer about today’s heavyweights and he has a low opinion of them and says they [Fury and AJ] wouldn’t have been in the top 30 in my era, I have to agree. They have skills, but as far as endurance, I don’t know. They don’t seem to be able to withstand power and aggressiveness.”

Heavyweight Who Sparred Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois And Joe Joyce Names Hardest Puncher

Daniel Dubois has proven time and again, even in defeat, that he packs a serious punch – but is it the heaviest in the division?

The 26-year-old recently beat Filip Hrgovic to become the IBF Interim Champion, meaning a series of events could lead to him facing Anthony Joshua for the full title at Wembley Stadium this September.

It would be Dubois’ second shot at world honours following a stoppage loss to Oleksandr Usyk last year, after which some in the sport questioned his heart and grit.

Speaking to Title Sports Network, fan-favourite heavyweight prospect Johnny Fisher praised Dubois’ performance after being in camp with an ‘amazing’ Hrgovic.

“I was obviously sparring Filip when he [was preparing] for Dubois. He looked amazing during camp – one of the best I’ve ever sparred. It just didn’t click on the night, probably due to Daniel Dubois being so good as well.

You can see the improvements in his game. He’s moving his head nicely, throwing flurries. He got his with so many shots by Hrgovic in the first, second round and just kept coming forward. Huge credit.”

Fisher – who faces Alen Babic on July 6 at the Copper Box in London – backed Joshua to win the fight should he and Dubois battle it out for the vacant IBF belt, but warned ‘AJ’ that the younger man hits extremely hard.

“It’s a great fight. I would favour Joshua in that fight. I think the wins he’s coming off and the form he’s in, and the way Hrgovic was catching with his right hand, I think Joshua’s right hand will do a bit more damage. But it’s a great fight. What a story, Daniel Dubois fighting for the world title again.

I think Joshua could maybe stop him, but this is why we love heavyweights. You don’t know what’s going to happen. And Dubois, trust me, he’s the hardest I’ve ever been punched by. Ever. He can seriously crack. You won’t want that on your chops.”

It’s high praise from the 25-year-old, who has sparred some of the best heavyweights in the world including former champion Tyson Fury and Olympian Joe Joyce.

After beating both” Usyk listed comparison between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury 

Usyk has beaten Joshua twice and most recently handed Fury his first professional loss in their historic undisputed heavyweight world title clash

Oleksandr usyk as compared Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury after beating both of the Brits.

Usyk won the undisputed heavyweight world titles last month when he beat Fury in their historic fight. Their rematch was expected to take place in October but has since been pushed back to December 21. The Ukrainian has two wins over ‘AJ’ as he won the unified belts from the Brit in September 2021 and defended them in their rematch the following year.

Usyk gave a funny comparison when talking about his wins against Joshua and Fury as he told Three Knockdown Rule. “Anthony Joshua has classy boxing. Greedy Belly, my friend Tyson Fury. It’s like sparkling water, when you open it without shaking it’s good. If you shake it, it [blows]. Sparkling water is Tyson Fury and still water is Anthony Joshua. Tyson’s arms are like two metres, like a rope.”

Usyk admitted he doesn’t want to think about boxing at the moment after spending eight months preparing for Fury. Their fight was pushed back several times and cancelled on just days notice when Fury was cut above his eye in February. Usyk surprisingly snubbed Fury whilst revealing the hardest puncher he has ever faced.

anthony joshua

“I would say toughest fight, yes, but I think biggest punch, no,” Usyk said of Fury.” When asked who hit him the hardest, Usyk replied: “Derek Chisora, very tough guy. With Derek, I don’t remember which hand if it was left or fight but I would block it and it would be like a baseball bat. It was very dangerous.

Usyk is expected to lose his undisputed status and be stripped of his IBF belt in the coming weeks so the title can be on the line for Joshua’s UK return in September. The Ukrainian’s manager disagrees with the governing body’s decision and wants to see all four belts on the line again for Usyk and Fury’s second fight.

I’ve fought Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury but the hardest punch came like a ‘baseball bat’ from ‘WAR’

Oleksandr Usyk has stepped in with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, but neither gave him his heaviest knock.

Usyk is the current reigning undisputed heavyweight champion after making history with a decision win over Fury in Saudi Arabia.

It was a monumental achievement to hand Fury his first defeat, and adds on to his back-to-back wins over Anthony Joshua in 2021 and 2022.

The Ukrainian has also been in with two other Britons in the shape of Daniel Dubois and Derek Chisora, but he believes the latter packed the most power he has faced.

Usyk responded on the Three Knockdown Rule podcast when asked who was his toughest and hardest hitting opponent: “Toughest fight – yes it was [Fury].

“Biggest punch – no. Because Derek Chisora, very tough guy.

“[One punch landed] on the gloves and I said, ‘Oh my God.’ Like a baseball bat.”

Chisora was Usyk’s second test in the blue-riband division, after he stepped up and vacated his status as undisputed champion at cruiserweight.

‘WAR’ put up a brave fight against Usyk, and even looked on top in earlier parts of the fight, using his relentless work rate and body shots to rough up the champion.

This outing led to many doubts over the Ukrainian’s size at heavyweight, but those concerns have been proven complete fiction.

He has become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, and has dismantled some elite fighters in the process.

But it is expected he will be stripped of his IBF belt before that date, despite filing an ‘exemption’ to the rule through his team.

Usyk did find himself under the pressure in the sixth round of their maiden encounter, after Fury landed a huge uppercut.

He was able to reverse momentum, but has now admitted it was a moment of real adversity.

“I feel for maybe ten seconds and say, ‘Hey God, thank you, help me.’ I say to myself, ‘Move. Move because if you stop he’ll kill you.’

“I respect Fury because he’s a great fighter, great man, very smart. What Tyson does, ‘Blah, blah, blah.’

“A lot of people say he’s a clown. It’s playing. Not me, but maybe a different opponent who doesn’t have tunnel vision.”

Tyson’s Fury’s post-fight comments likened to Anthony Joshua’s meltdown

By
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury has been told he will come to regret his comments about the Ukraine war after his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury was beaten on points in his undisputed fight with Usyk in Saudi Arabia last weekend as he fell to the first defeat of his professional career. The Brit was in control of the bout until the halfway stage when Usyk turned the tide and almost stopped his rival.

After the decision was announced, Fury suggested the war in Ukraine had influenced the judges’ decision. “I believe I won that fight, I think he won a few if those rounds but I won the majority of them. His country is at at war, so people are siding with the country at war,” he said.

Former European champion Spencer Oliver has now said he feels Fury will regret his comments. “I think he didn’t do himself any favours by the way and I do understand this, using Anthony Joshua as an example again when Joshua threw the belts in the ring. When there’s a little bit of concussion going around, which there probably was there, and emotions running high,” he told GiveMeSport.

“Fury did something very stupid in saying ‘I thought I won the fight.’ Well, that’s fair enough if you thought you won the fight, that’s an opinion. ‘I thought I won the fight, but the reason why I didn’t win the fight because of what’s going on in Ukraine and the war, and they give it to him (Usyk) for that reason.’ I thought that was terrible and I think he’ll regret saying that.”

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has defended his fighter, insisting Fury’s bipolar condition is to blame. “I get quite angry. I’ve just got back [from Riyadh], and I’m reading some of the reports,” Warren told talkSPORT.

“Tyson is bipolar. If you go on the NHS [National Health Service] site and look at what the symptoms are of bipolar, some of the things he is saying are exactly what is on your mind. If it’s in your mind, you say it. That is one of the symptoms, unfortunately.”
