"Fury needs to use his size more if he wants to beat Usyk," believes Otto Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs), a former opponent of Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) who lost to him almost five ...

Fury will have the opportunity to rematch Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) on December 21 in the Saudi capital.

"It will be a difficult task, but it can be done. Tyson is big, so he should keep Usyk as far away from him as possible and try to box him. But that's easy to say because it's very difficult to keep someone like Usyk at bay, he's a really great boxer. He was able to shake Fury impressively. After all, this is a first heavyweight fighter who almost knocked out Fury. In the rematch, Tyson needs to box smarter and utilize his strong arm more. And when Usyk goes to the middle distance, he should put his pounds on him more. Another thing is that he tried it, but Usyk was pulling away and throwing more punches," Vallin said.
