Tyson Fury Faces Serious Risk of Defeat in Usyk Rematch, Warns McKenzie

Former world champion Duke McKenzie has issued a strong warning regarding Tyson Fury‘s upcoming rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. McKenzie, Britain’s first three-weight world champion, believes Fury’s current approach could lead to another defeat if he doesn’t adjust his strategy. The two heavyweight giants will meet again on December 21 in Saudi Arabia, after Usyk’s victory in their first encounter earlier this year.

Fury’s Weight Gain: A Potential Mistake?

Tyson Fury, who aims to avenge his first professional defeat to Usyk, has been visibly bulking up ahead of the rematch. For their first fight in May, Fury weighed in at 262 lbs, more than 30 lbs heavier than Usyk. Despite Fury rating his performance as a perfect 10/10, he admitted that he wasn’t in his best shape, comparing his physique to his second bout with Deontay Wilder. While the added weight was intended to help him dominate Usyk, McKenzie criticized Fury’s lack of discipline between fights, warning that his strategy to bulk up could backfire.

McKenzie: Bigger Isn’t Always Better

McKenzie criticized Fury’s weight-gain approach, pointing out that he has struggled to maintain his shape between bouts. He emphasized that true champions live and breathe the sport constantly. “Bigger and better isn’t going to beat Usyk,” McKenzie declared on talkSPORT. According to McKenzie, Fury’s plan to rely on size and power to bully Usyk could backfire. If Fury enters the fight slower and more predictable, he may become an easier target for the Ukrainian champion.

Usyk’s Unbeaten Streak and Relentless Stamina

McKenzie has no doubts that Usyk will win the rematch if Fury continues with his current approach. Usyk, who remains unbeaten with no signs of vulnerability, has shown exceptional stamina, resilience, and tactical brilliance. McKenzie stressed that Fury won’t be able to knock Usyk out, as the Ukrainian fighter has demonstrated his ability to handle adversity in the ring. With no issues regarding stamina or recovery, Usyk is poised to retain his undefeated record.

A Defining Chapter in Heavyweight Boxing

The upcoming Fury-Usyk rematch is set to be another defining chapter in the history of heavyweight boxing. While Fury seeks redemption, McKenzie believes that Usyk’s technical prowess and consistency will ensure his victory on December 21.
