Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are getting ready for their rematch after a close first fight in May. The boxers will face off again following Fury's narrow loss on points, which marked his first professional defeat.
The initial bout was a tight and engaging battle. Fury started strong, boxing and moving well in the early rounds. He landed some good uppercuts in the middle of the fight. But things took a turn in the ninth round when Fury got complacent and Usyk caught him with a big shot, resulting in a standing eight count for the British fighter.
After the fight, critics pointed fingers at Fury's corner team. They gave conflicting instructions in the final rounds, potentially costing Fury the victory. The corner included SugarHill Steward, Andy Lee, and Fury's father, 'Big' John Fury.
Former world champion Carl Froch shared his thoughts on the situation. On his YouTube channel, Froch on Fighting, he advised John Fury to stay away from Tyson's corner for the rematch.
"To be honest I hope he doesn't rear his head again. That man has gone, he's vanished. Tyson probably knows that actually, listen dad, I love you to bits, you've got my best intentions at heart and you want me to win, but do me a favour, stay out of the way, shut the f**k up."
Froch believes John Fury could be a distraction and lacks the high-level boxing experience compared to the other trainers. He suggests that SugarHill Steward and Andy Lee, both with experience at the world level, should make up Fury's corner team for the rematch.
As the rematch approaches, fans and experts are debating the outcome and wondering what adjustments each boxer will make. Opinions vary on Fury's ability to turn the tables and defeat Usyk in their second encounter. The boxing world will be watching closely to see if Fury can overcome his first loss and reclaim his undefeated status.
