Comments Thread For: What is Tyson Fury's strategy for the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk?

[Zelda]

I have the feeling Fury will win this one. Fury looks in better shape and is a lot more focused this time around.

[PRINCEKOOL]

If Tyson Fury has not seriously hurt, or decked Oleksandr Uysk II by the middle rounds of the fight 'Then I think his chances of winning, will dramatically decrease in the latter half of the fight'.

Since the first fight, Tyson Fury and his team have been indirectly trying to make excuses as to why he lost 'Even though during the build up to the first fight, you had multiple members of his team. Almost certain that Fury was going to beat up Uysk, his mangers and personal chef's continually kept on referencing his form and conditioning vs Deontay Wilder II. Comparing his then present condition, as on par if not superior to those versions of Tyson Fury'.

We have not seen the public workouts as of yet, and the weigh in for the fight has not taken place 'But from pure observation's, if we can correlate how each fighter aesthetically has appeared this fight week. Tyson Fury really does not appear to be in the condition he was for the first fight, at least on this level of comparison. Of course a fighters overall conditioning is more than just how they appear aesthetically or a number which shows On the weighing scales'.

When Tyson Fury arrived during fight week last time, I will be 1000% honest 'Everyone watching the boxing event, understood that the WBC World Heavyweight Champion had arrived. Tyson Fury seemed to be surrounded by a force field and aura, which communicated to the world that he was a apex World Boxing Champion'.

Thus-far during the fight build up, I am honestly not detecting this type of presence from Tyson Fury 'At least when he is in the near close radius to Oleksandr Uysk. And this is most likely because Oleksandr Uysk not only out boxed him, but also smashed him up during round 9 of their first fight. The manner in which Uysk was able to fight Fury, surely must of shocked and bothered him'.

Make no doubt about it? Tyson Fury was in supreme condition for his first fight vs Oleksandr Uysk I 'Tyson Fury had to endure 3 back to back training camps, before eventually fighting Oleksandr Uysk on May 18th 2024. And at the very beginning of those three back to back training camps, Fury was already in fight condition. Tyson Fury weighed in at 277 pounds vs Francis Ngannou, which is exactly the same weight that he weighed vs Deontay Wilder III during their third trilogy fight'.

Tyson Fury has not endured three back to back training camps for this rematch, and he was most likely way over 280 pounds when he started training camp 'That is why I am not so sure, Fury in terms of his endurance is going to improve for this rematch. But I do still expect Tyson Fury to improve his game, in many other areas and add more tactics to challenge Oleksandr Uysk II'.

Fury has to fight a big man styled fight, I have continuedly stated this many times since their first fight. Tyson Fury as a super heavyweight, stylistically really should find Oleksandr Uysk to be a straight forward fight. In my opinion? If Tyson Fury is a genuine all-time great Super Heavyweight fighter, then there is no way he should be embroiled in brutal struggles vs Oleksandr Uysk'.

Note: A true all-time great Super Heavyweight fighter, in my opinion does not fight or behave the way Fury did vs Uysk 'Oleksandr Uysk is the most accomplished active fighter in the entire sport of boxing, and pound for pound 'His wins over both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, are the greatest feats of achievement in the sport of boxing in the last 15 years'. But I believe the genuine all-time great super heavyweight fighters of the sport, would not find such a stylistic encounter a mighty struggle to the same level that both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have thus far in their careers.

Tyson Fury is potentially going to out way Oleksandr Uysk by 40 + pounds at the very least 'Oleksandr Uysk has never at any point in his career, been renowned for his power punching. So why on earth is Tyson Fury fighting off the back foot, and making the fight more athletically difficult for himself'.

It was understandable when Lennox Lewis fought David Tua, off the back foot as a Super Heavyweight 'Because David Tua, was one of the most destructive power punches of the 90's and early 2000's Heavyweight boxing era's. Not only was David Tua equipped with fight altering power in a single punch, also in terms of brute strength he was pound for pound one of the strongest Heavyweights active in the sport'.

To conclude: Tyson Fury in my opinion needs to walk to the centre of the ring, and stay there vs Oleksandr Uysk II 'The first offensive objective for Fury, should be to win the battle of the jabs. Once he has achieved this, then everything else should become more systematic. Fury needs to attack Uysk predominately with straight punches, and if he is going to throw hooks? Then those variations of punches should be thrown to the mid-section of Uysk. When Uysk applies pressure and attacks, Fury needs to use his own well know rough house tactics, tie Uysk up and wrestle him on the inside of the action'.

If Tyson Fury can execute this style of fight, and compose himself in a very efficient manner 'Those are the best tactics he can use to win vs Oleksandr Uysk II'.

But there is a big question whether Tyson Fury can perform at this level and execute this style of fight against another elite level Heavyweight 'We have seen Tyson Fury tactically execute similar fights vs Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora. But let's all be honest? Those fighters were high end European level, borderline World level fighter when they fought Fury. Neither Whyte or Chisora have ever been rated as Elite Level Heavyweight fighters'.

So, Tyson Fury tactics in this rematch. Should be to fight like a genuine all-time great Super Heavyweight 'Although Fury's first fight effort vs Usyk I, was a great performance in certain areas. It really was not that much better than Anthony Joshua's two fights vs Oleksandr Uysk I & II. In fact? I personally believe overall Joshua fought better fights vs Oleksandr Uysk I & II, definitively with his rematch effort'.

It is extremely important in my opinion, for Tyson Fury to hurt Oleksandr Uysk II or at the very least deter him during this rematch 'If Fury can achieve such a feat, then this opens up the fight for him stylistically' etc.

[wrecksracer]

he could always just use his height and reach to cruise to victory. A boring Vlad-style punch and clinch fest.

[Liondw]

I think it's one of two ways.

He'll either go after Usyk from the get go like in the second Wilder fight, or box him from the outside using his height and reach advantage.

If he noticeably hurts Usyk, he'll likely go after him to try and finish him.

I like Fury's chances, but one can never underestimate Usyk.

[Slip jab]

I think it should be obvious that he’s going to use his size and weight. For Usyk he should he give Tyson the ol stone cold stunner immediately followed by a flying elbow off the turnbuckle. And folded steel chair for good measure.
