'The Gypsy King' suffered the first defeat of his professional career against the Ukrainian earlier this year, and 'Iron Mike' has revealed how the Brit can avenge his loss
Mike Tyson believes two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury needs to take the Oleksandr Usyk fight 'seriously' ahead of the sequel later this year.
Last week, Fury revealed it was Usyk's divine right to emerge victorious from their undisputed heavyweight title fight. Speaking at the launch press conference of the highly-anticipated rematch, Fury said: “It’s actually been about four and half years – the Deontay Wilder II fight – since I was the underdog in a fight. I’m looking forward to a fantastic fight. Oleksandr won the first fight fair and square.
"I believe it’s my time this time and all things that happen – positive or negative – are lessons and we must learn from these things as humans, boxers, fathers and husbands. What we know is to go out there and knock each other out and put on a show for the paying customer. I hope you guys will enjoy this fight as much as I will.”
Speaking to talkSPORT ahead of his showdown with Jake Paul, Tyson was shocked by the outcome of the contest and has revealed what 'The Gypsy King' must do in order to get his hand raised in December. "Hey listen, Usyk surprised everybody", he said. "I think Tyson Fury played around too much, I think he needs to be taking this fight seriously and hopefully we get a different result to last time".
