Former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor has spoken out about the upcoming rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, which will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"Of course, you don't want to lose, especially to a fighter like Oleksandr Usyk. Nevertheless, the first fight was close. I think Fury had some good moments in that fight. Tyson is a guy who can change a lot of things about his style. If you look at his trilogy with Wilder, you'll see that he improved from fight to fight. I expect Tyson to be much more focused and tactical. The size difference between him and Oleksandr Usyk is significant, but Usyk is a crafty and experienced boxer. It will be a tough fight," - quotes the Irishman Bloody Elbow.

Recall that in the first fight, held in May, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision of judges.
